Paper Moisture Meters

There are two groups of paper moisture meters: Absolute paper moisture meters and Relative paper moisture meters. Both groups show humidity results in % however their range of application is different. Absolute paper moisture meters are mainly used by the manufacturer directly in rolls of paper-making machines (these are not mobile so they never take measurements from roll papers when they are moving) or by the printer during the input control in the printing office. The control of humidity in paper is especially important during its production process due to the fact that an excess of moisture may block the rotary machine and create undue warming of the paper rolls. On the other hand, it is very important to take into account that the physical properties of any paper are determined by the content of humidity. Humidity in paper will change depending on the relative environmental humidity owing to its hygroscopic properties. Relative humidity testers of paper are only used in paper manufacturing plants or by technical specialists if there is a customer's complaint.

Humidity of paper: Common problems: Paper moisture meters are used when there is a complaint from the paper manufacturer to the printing office and the reasons are not very clear. It is advisable to use the same humidity meters in both places (for instance: in the printing office and in the paper-making factory) Although humidity in paper can be detected as absolute humidity and relative one, the best method is by means of an absolute humidity meter to get the best results (they will not depend on temperature and other environmental conditions). Humidity in paper is not only important to establish prices in paper-making factories but also for manipulators, printing offices, etc. All those factors turn paper moisture meters into an irreplaceable tool for daily use.
