How to Use a Trace Moisture Analyzer Safely

The trace moisture analyzer is one method of sample moisture determination using methanol as the medium and alkaline solution as the titrant. The instrument performs automatic baseline correction; operating parameters and results are shown on the LCD module and can be printed for archiving as needed. It offers high sensitivity, good stability, accurate results, simple operation, and fast analysis. The method is easy to use and highly accurate, and is widely used in petroleum, dyes, grain, and other fields. It is especially suitable for heat-sensitive samples, detecting not only free water but also bound water, and is often used as the standard analytical method for moisture, particularly trace moisture. It is not suitable, however, for samples containingstrong reducing agents such as VC (ascorbic acid). Now let's look at how to install a trace moisture analyzer correctly!

When the concentration reachesabove 0.05%, a reverse reaction occurs. To drive the reaction forward, a suitable alkaline substance must be added to neutralize the acid formed. Experiments show that after it is added to the system the reaction proceeds to the right; it has been proven a suitable reagent, and the combination of iodine and sulfur dioxide also lowers the vapor pressure of both.

When installing and using a trace moisture analyzer, first understand the surrounding environment and confirm that the installation meets requirements, so the instrument can measure accurately.

1. Do not install the instrument in a room with corrosive gases; they corrode the circuitry and shorten its life.

2. Do not install it where the ambient temperature is below5 °C or above 40 °C.

3. Do not install it in direct sunlight.

4. Do not install it near frequently operated electrical equipment.

5. Do not install it in humid locations or near water drain pipes.

6. Do not install it where power fluctuations exceed specifications.

7. After each automatic addition or discharge of electrolyte, or discharge of oil, flush the lines immediately with alcohol) by placing alcohol at the electrolyte, anode, and cathode positions and performing the addition and discharge operations).

Precautions when using a trace moisture analyzer

1. When replacing the electrolyte, ensure the electrolytic cell is airtight: apply vacuum grease evenly to all ground joints and replace silicone septa promptly.

2. Before each use, check the connections of the electrolytic and measuring electrode leads to the main unit, and confirm both connections are free of debris and rust that would affect lead resistance. Poor connector resistance or sealing affects instrument stability: the electrolyte will not be in electrolytic equilibrium, and the display will show "Press Start to measure", "Reagent equilibrating", and "Please wait". These phenomena are common—be sure to watch for them.

3. Never use electrolyte that has deteriorated.
