Moisture measurement

The importance of moisture measurement

Moisture measurement is critical in various industries to ensure product quality and durability. Excessive moisture content can lead to issues such as material weakening, mold formation, and reduced performance. Therefore, accurate moisture monitoring is essential for materials like textiles, carpets, nonwovens, insulation batts, gypsum panels, cardboard or paper.

How does M-Ray technology measure moisture?

The sensor uses Hammer-IMS’s M-Ray technology in transmissive power mode. It has two parts: a transmitter above the material and a receiver below it. This design measures moisture throughout the entire product, not just the surface. Unlike other sensors that mainly detect surface moisture, the Marveloc M-Ray Moisture Sensor also measures water inside the material.
