What are the official methods of moisture content determination

Moisture content determination is a crucial process in various industries to ensure product quality and prevent deterioration. Lattice Light provides comprehensive solutions for accurate moisture analysis.

Official Moisture Content Determination Methods

  • **Oven Drying:** Samples are dried in an oven at a specific temperature to remove moisture. The weight loss is measured to determine the moisture content.
  • **Karl Fischer Titration:** This chemical method involves titration with a Karl Fischer reagent to determine the water content in a sample.
  • **Microwave Drying:** Microwaves are used to heat samples, causing moisture to evaporate. The weight loss is recorded to calculate the moisture content.
  • **Infrared Drying:** Infrared radiation is utilized to heat samples, resulting in moisture evaporation. The change in sample weight is measured.
  • **Calcium Carbide Gas Generation:** This method measures the volume of acetylene gas produced when a sample is reacted with calcium carbide. The acetylene volume is proportional to the moisture content.
