VicoMeter at the Customer Site

The purchasing school is the School of Chemical Engineering at Tianjin University, mainly to give students and teachers a full understanding of the moisture content of their researched oil products at various time points. The instrument is used mostly by graduate students, who already understand its principles well, so the VicoMeter technical engineer focused the training on operating and maintenance precautions instead of principles. The engineer then ran two tests with the samples, followed by two tests each by the two responsible students; the data were essentially consistent and all within the expected moisture range.
