The moisture content within hay, straw, grains, pulses, and oilseeds is an essential consideration for growers, buyers, and processors in the agricultural industry. Moisture content and quality are inextricably linked. High moisture, especially when paired with high temperatures, increases the risk of mould, mycotoxins, and insect infestation.
Instrument Choice Scientists have compiled a list of the five top-rated portable grain and hay moisture meters, highlighting their key specifications and differentiating features so that you can find the best meter for your needs.
Light meters are used across a wide variety of industries and have many applications. They’re commonly used to measure light intensity in working environments, public spaces and for photography. Whether you wish to measure light indoors and outdoors – the applications are endless
However, did you know that not all light meters are capable of measuring LED lights and, if you are measuring LED light with a meter not designed for it, you may be collecting data with significant errors?
In this article, we will explain why you need specific light meters to measure LED lights as well as give examples of the five best light meters that can measure LED.
