When purchasing ton's of cotton (or more), hand-testing methods of checking the %MC of cotton just isn’t practical. A simple touch test cannot provide a quantifiable measurement of the moisture content of cotton.
The gold standard "Oven dry tests", while highly accurate if done correctly, and takes far too long to finish to provide a timely measurement of moisture in cotton. By the time one gets the measurement from enough samples of cotton the rest of the cotton may have seen a significant change in %MC.
On the other hand, in-situ measurement by Moisture Meters Specially Designed for cotton, can provide a reliable measurement of the moisture content of the cotton in seconds, rather than in hours.
Generally speaking, the most important times to measure the moisture of the cotton is at the time of buying and selling in the market yards to account for how much of cotton’s weight is from moisture, to determine the right price and transparency between vendors.
Checking moisture during a sale lets the buyer know that they’re getting a fair market price and aren’t being charged for too much water content.
During the purchase and sales of the cotton harvest, cotton comes in many different forms. From lint and seed cotton to large, fluffy white cotton bales, hence it’s important to have the right kind of measurement device for the right form of cotton form.
We have specialised cotton moisture measurement meters for different product requirements. To understand more about how you can measure moisture in cotton, speak to the specialist with your requirements.
