4 Methods to Eliminate Measurement Errors in Moisture Analyzers

A moisture analyzer measures the water content of solids, granules, powders, pastes (slurries), liquids, and gases. It is used for moisture measurement of non-conductive materials such as wood, lignocellulosic substances like bamboo products and woodenware, Chinese medicinal materials, tobacco, cotton, paper, construction materials, and soil. Every instrument inevitably has some degree of error in use; here are some tips on how to reduce errors when working with a moisture analyzer.

1. Correct operation reduces measurement error. Before measuring, read the instruction manual carefully and understand the correct operating procedure—this alone reduces error, while incorrect operation increases it.

2. When using a moisture analyzer to test the moisture content of solid samples, if the measurement error is within the normal range，then essentially you can rule out problems with the instrument'saccuracy.

3. Errors in sample testing may also come from volatile solvents in the sample besides water itself. A moisture analyzer works on the loss-on-drying principle: the instrument heats the sample to drive off moisture, and the balance's calculation function then computes the water content.

4. If the sample contains other volatile solvents, heating drives off both the water and the solvent, so during testing the measurement error of the moisture analyzer can be reduced tothe very minimum.

Measurement errors are unavoidable; by using and operating the instrument correctly we can keep errors to athe very minimminimum, which benefits our work,Formore, the VicoMeter moisture analyzer website will continue to update for you, with more content available on the VicoMeter moisture analyzer websitehttps://www.weikemeituo.com/Halogen Moisture Analyzers_Karl Fischer Moisture Analyzers_Density Meters_Electronic Balances_Moisture Analyzers for Lithium Batteries, Wood, Wood Chips, Gases, Solids and Liquids—VicoMeter | Jiangsu Victor Instrument Meter Co., Ltd.!
