Why Test Moisture Content

Moisture content affects the processability, shelf life, usability and quality of products. Accurate moisture determination therefore plays a key role in ensuring product quality in many industries such as food, pharmaceuticals and chemicals. In addition, the maximum permissible moisture content of certain products may be regulated by legislation (e.g., national food regulations).

There are many stages in the production process where moisture determination benefits the overall quality of the finished product: raw materials, incoming goods, storage, process control, quality control, packaging, and more.

Our loss-on-drying moisture analyzers deliver comparable and traceable results in less than 15 minutes. The moisture determination guide provides key information on operating these instruments, which is essential for using a fast moisture analyzer and helps you determine moisture content quickly, reliably and easily.

Principle of Fast Moisture Measurement

Moisture content is typically determined by thermogravimetric analysis, i.e., loss-on-drying, in which the weight loss caused by moisture evaporation is recorded as the sample is heated. The traditional and most common method is the oven method, in which a sample of the material is…
