Full Description
The Model DC-2011 cork moisture meter is specifically designed and calibrated for testing cork. The Model DC-2011 determines the cork moisture content by means of a DC resistance circuit which measures the total current which moisture causes to flow between the needle electrodes. The auto ranging display reads in direct moisture content percent. By testing your cork stoppers for moisture content with the Model DC-2011, this cork moisture meter can reduce or eliminate profit loss or customer product rejection due to:
- Oxygen seepage causing product spoilage
- Product evaporation and leakage
- Degradation of product quality
- Poor cork compressibility
- Floating cork dust
- Cracked corks
- Too dry or brittle corks
The Model DC-2011 has two built-in needles for fast production testing and an auto ranging feature for automatic adjustment to different cork moisture ranges. A self-diagnostic routine and a low battery indicator make the Model DC-2011 reliable and easy to use.
