October 22, 2007 - Microcontroller-based AM-III performs instantaneous, non-destructive moisture measurements of moving or stationary rolls and stacks of all types of paper and paperboard. Taking 16 measurements every second and displaying average twice in same period, product uses RF capacitance method to obtain pin-less moisture readings below surface of roll or stack. Product is also available with optional 2,000 reading-capacity Data Storage Unit for further processing/reference.

Calibrations for a wide range of paper and paperboard pre-programmed in microcontroller.

LAVERNE, Calif., Oct. 9 -- Moisture Register Products, a division of Aqua Measure Instrument Company, announced availability of the latest generation of its popular AM-III microcontroller-based portable moisture meter. The AM-III permits instantaneous, non-destructive moisture measurements on all types of paper and paperboard rolls and stacks, essential for paper industry professionals. The portable moisture meter will also be shown at the Converting and Package Printing Expo, Oct. 15-17 in Las Vegas, NV.

Scientists estimate that we blink our eyes every four seconds. Aqua Measure's Model AM-III accurately takes 16 readings of moisture content in paper every second, displaying the average reading twice in the same period. In the proverbial blink of an eye, the Model AM-III Portable Moisture meter has read the average moisture content of the paper it measures 64 times, displaying eight updated average readings of that content.

Experts in the paper industry have long recognized the need for a tool to provide rapid, accurate measurement of moisture content to provide a high yield of good quality paper and enable efficient energy usage in paper plants. Aqua Measure's rugged, portable instrument excels in moisture measurement accuracy, whether the paper or paper-like product is creped wadding, disposable diapers, roofing paper, tube sock, particle board, or PVC and acrylic sheet plastics. In short, the AM-III is to the paper professional what a level is to a carpenter.

Just as a level tells a seasoned carpenter what adjustments to make, the AM-III, when coupled with the optional Data Storage Unit (DSU), arms the paper professional with real-time data which can be downloaded and saved to a file, allowing "point and click" accessibility for further processing and reference. The Model AM-III can provide readings on moving or stationary rolls, stacks, or reams, giving the paper professional the flexibility and convertibility so valued in today's competitive market. The DSU stores 2,000 moisture readings for a full 30 minutes of testing, using the radio frequency capacitance method to obtain pin-less moisture readings below the surface of the roll or stack.

The Model AM-III comes with a rechargeable battery, carrying case, and a recessed digital LED display calibrated directly in percent moisture for 20 pre-programmed types of paper, corrugated and paperboard products. In addition, it features heavy gauge stainless steel rollers. Its size, portability, and accuracy make it an essential tool for the paper production industry.

The Aqua Measure AM-III Portable Moisture Meter is available now in either 115V (AM-3003) or 230V (AM-3004) versions, via mail or phone order from Moisture Register, with prices beginning at $1,650 for the 115V model. Available options include the Data Storage Unit, a Test Block Assembly for facilities managers who prefer to verify calibration onsite, 120V or 230V Battery Charger Assemblies, and carrying case.

Moisture Register Products and Aqua Measure Instrument Company, headquartered in La Verne, CA, have a 70-year history of developing and manufacturing innovative moisture measurement and control equipment. Their Continuous On-Line Systems and Hand-Held Portable Units are designed for optimum performance, convenience and reliability to accomplish a multitude of applications in a wide range of industries.
