These modules add to the versatility of the Texture Analysers by providing the facility to capture temperature and humidity data during a test. When the Texture Expert Exceed software is used the temperature is sampled every ten seconds and recorded with the force, distance and time data. All modules connect to the Texture Analyser via the RS485 port.
Fully Integrated Temperature Module (FIT/MOD) - This platinum resistance hand probe (Pt100) is designed to BS1904:1984 Class A. The platinum element is protected in a 2.5mm dia. stainless steel sheath. It has an operating range of -40°C to 200°C at the probe tip. It has a fast response time and a sensor accuracy of ±0.35°C over the standard working temperature range. It can be easily cleaned and sterilised without degrading performance.
Fully Integrated Humidity Module Type 1 (FIH1/MOD) - The Hygroclip is a product designed according to ISO 9001 and meeting EN50082-2 EMC requirements. It has an operating range of 0-100%rh (humidity) and -40°C to 85°C. Accuracy at 23°C is ±1.5%rh and ±0.3°C. The size of this probe makes is most suitable to ambient humidity measurement.
