1.1 Safety Precautions (Cont.)
Certain samples require special care!
With certain types of samples, there is a possibility of danger to personnel or damage
to property through:
Fire or explosion:
— Flammable or explosive substances;
— Substances containing solvents;
— Substances which release flammable or explosive vapors when heated. With
such samples, work at a drying temperature that is low enough to prevent the
formation of flames or an explosion and wear protective goggles. Should there be
any uncertainty regarding the flammability of a sample, always work with a small
sample (maximum. 1 gram). In such cases, never leave the instrument
unattended! In cases of doubt, perform a careful risk analysis.
Poisoning, burning:
— Substances which contain toxic or caustic components. Such substances may be
dried only in a fume hood.
Corrosion:
— Substances which release corrosive vapors when heated (e.g. acids). In the case
of such substances, we advise you to work with small amounts of samples as
the vapor can condense on cooler housing parts and cause corrosion. Please
note that the user always takes responsibility and assumes liability for damage
caused by use of the types of samples mentioned above!
— Never make any modifications or constructional alterations to the instrument and
use only original spare parts and optional equipment from Ohaus Corporation.
— Your Moisture Analyzer is a rugged, precision instrument – but you should still
treat it carefully; it will then provide you with many years of trouble-free operation.
— Please comply with all notes and instructions in these operating instructions.
Keep the instructions in a safe place where they are immediately at hand if any
points are unclear.
APPLICATION DISCLAIMER:
— Moisture determination applications must be optimized and validated by the user
according to local regulations. Application specific data provided by Ohaus is
