Grain Moisture Meter
Product Code : SCL-PLE-11598
The Grain Moisture Meter is a precision analytical instrument designed to measure the water content in various grains, seeds, and legumes. Primarily utilized in secondary and tertiary agricultural science programs, it facilitates the study of crop storage, food security, and post-harvest technology. This tool is essential for STEM and TVET curricula, providing instantaneous, non-destructive moisture analysis to prevent fungal degradation and spoilage.

Educational Benefits & Features
Feature: Automatic Temperature Compensation (ATC).
Benefit: Corrects for fluctuations in ambient temperature that can skew electrical resistance readings, ensuring students obtain consistent data regardless of varied laboratory or field conditions.
Feature: Multi-variety grain selection.
Benefit: Allows students to compare the hygroscopic properties of different crops (e.g., Maize versus Wheat), solving the problem of needing multiple specialized devices for a single agricultural laboratory.
Feature: High-precision needle probe assembly.
Benefit: Enables deep-sample testing within grain sacks or bulk storage containers, teaching students professional techniques for identifying moisture pockets that cause localized spoilage.
Feature: Instantaneous digital readout.
Benefit: Eliminates the time-intensive "Oven-Dry" method for routine classroom checks, allowing for higher student throughput and more frequent data collection during limited lab periods.
Feature: Low-battery indicator and auto-power off.
Benefit: Preserves instrument longevity and ensures that students do not inadvertently record inaccurate data due to a failing power source.
Curriculum Alignment
This instrument is precision-engineered to meet the infrastructure requirements of Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) and Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) frameworks. It specifically facilitates benchmarks in "Earth’s Systems" regarding sustainable agriculture and "Matter and its Interactions," providing the empirical tools necessary for students to master food preservation and resource management standards.
