LABORATORY
Our research laboratory is the scientific and technical base of TANEL. Its operations can be divided into three main areas of interest:
- Calibration and control of moisture meters made by TANEL.
- Production of individual custom ordered special moisture meters.
- Research and development of new moisture meters or improvements of models already in production.
Measuring equipment
The laboratory is equipped with the latest measuring devices:
- high quality humidity generator DGW-2 (certified by the National Institute of Weights and Measures in Warsaw) that generates any given humidity in its measuring chamber,
- precise certified scales type PS-210 for measurements of moisture contents in solids using the dry oven test,
- dryers type WPE-30 with temperatures stabilisation,
- special measurement station for determining the characteristics of adsorption and desorption of various hygroscopic materials; the station allows to control the following parameters:
- air humidity,
- air temperature,
- ventilation speed (air flow),
- electrical parameters measuring devices (oscilloscope, wavemeter, bridge/strain gauge, universal measuring devices),
- special devices and grips (e.g. temperature probe 1.5 m long, loose solids grip that allows for probing up to 2 m deep into the heap, a thermo-hygrometer that allows for measurements of humidity and temperature inside loose solids heaps),
- sets of certified template resistors for control of characteristics of resistance based moisture meters.
