Kett, the world’s leading manufacturer of award-winning portable
handheld moisture analyzers and coating thickness analysis instrumentation,
announced today the introduction of the PQ520, a new analyzer that provides
rapid moisture measurement of rice, barley and wheat. The PQ520 is the latest in
instrument innovation from Kett, a leader in rice, grain and seed measurement
for more than 65 years. The PQ520 is designed for use in laboratory, near-line
process and remote QA/QC applications where quick, accurate determination of
moisture content is required.
Kett is exhibiting the PQ520 at the 2013 Pittsburgh Conference and
Exhibition (Pittcon) through March 21 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in booth
1503.
This simple-to-use device allows users to measure the moisture
content of individual seeds within a sample. Tests are completed without sample
preparation. The PQ520 is factory-calibrated for wheat, brown, polished and
paddy rice, as well as naked and standard barley. To measure a sample, the user
selects the calibration, pours a sample into the large hopper and presses the
“Measure” button. Each kernel is individually tested and the value displayed on
the large LCD screen. When complete, the number of kernels tested, the average
moisture, and a histogram detailing the distribution of moisture values is
displayed.
The PQ520 is capable of measuring from 10 to 1,000 kernels in each
batch and can measure 150 kernels per minute.
Kett’s PQ520 builds on the success of its PQ500 and PQ510 Single
Grain Moisture Tester. These instruments are generally considered the worldwide
standard for the measurement for single grain seed moisture; the PQ510 has been
discontinued with the introduction of the PQ520.
Kett continues to stand behind the PQ520 with a one-year “Total
Care” manufacturer's warranty on parts and labor and specification compliance

I believe that PQ520 good and convenient device for measuring the moisture content of grain. But do it apply for large enterprises? I've read studies aquar-system.com about using grain moisture measurement A 315 not only in laboratory, but the industry in general.
