The moisture of a single sheet of paper in seconds
The PMSA is a laboratory sensor that works with software on a PC. A single sheet of paper is laid on it and a few seconds later the water content is there - instead of the hours the oven method needs. Before every measurement the unit calibrates the sensor itself.
Where it earns its place
- samples taken straight from the paper machine
- incoming and outgoing control of sheets in printing and converting
- the works laboratory - a fast alternative to a drying analyser
Your benefits
- measurement of a single sheet, without destroying the sample
- grammage from 30 to 800 g/m²
- the sensor calibrates itself before every measurement
- PC software: readings, calibration of paper types and data management
- power and data over a single USB cable
- a curve for your own type of paper developed in the manufacturer’s laboratory

A curve for your own paper
The PMSA measures through a curve developed for a particular type and grammage of paper. The curve is prepared by the manufacturer’s laboratory from samples sent in by the customer - five A4 sheets are needed for each type.
Extended accessories
