FT-14C On-Line Moisture Sensor

Reg. U.S. Pat. Off. Nos. 6,192,750 B1 and 6,388,453 B1

Overview:

  • Accurately monitors moisture content of flowing whole grain or other particulate materials
  • Reliable, rugged, economical choice for moisture monitoring applications
  • Configurable to meet specialized requirements
  • Easily integrated into process control systems

Product Specifications

FT Series sensors combine proven capacitive moisture sensing technology with a patented flow-through sample cell design to provide unmatched accuracy.

Its milliamp moisture and temperature outputs resist electromagnetic interference, can be displayed on our Digital Moisture Display Interface (DiMDI) and/or transmitted as an analog signal for integration into a process control system.
