Moisture Analysis
Purpose: The moisture analyzer can be used to determine the moisture content of liquid,
pasty, or solid samples .
Accessories: Depending on the consistency of the sample, one or two filters are recommended in
order to distribute the sample optimally in the sample pan .
– Liquid sample: Tare one filter with the sample pan, then distribute the sample
drop by drop onto the filter .
– Pasty sample: Tare two filters with the sample pan, then place the sample
between the two filters and press together evenly .
– Solid sample: Distribute the granulated sample evenly onto the sample pan
without a filter . Use one or two filters for solid samples that liquefy at high
temperatures or contain fat or sugar, in order to prevent crusting .
Danger of poisoning or caustic burns!
Substances that contain poisonous or caustic ingredients may produce poisonous
gases when dried, which can cause irritation (to the eyes, skin, or airways) or nausea
and lead to serious injury or death .
– These samples must only be dried in a laboratory hood .
Corrosion due to aggressive vapors!
Substances that emit aggressive vapors when heated may cause condensation to
form on cooler housing parts and lead to corrosion .
– Use small sample quantities of these substances .
