Presumably you mean a max of 18.5%? ie. water content should not exceed 18.5%

Yes quite correct , a max of 18.5% .
Getting older and brain fade.

Thanks for correcting me , I have now stuck out the offending min and added max.

no

Do you find the calibration drifts?
I presume calibration with olive oil?

I find enough to make 0.5% difference at times.
I use B.P Liquid parrafin for my calibration as Olive oil can vary a little.
