Moisture analyzers? With them, you can determine the dry mass content in a sample

Moisture analyzers are laboratory devices that combine the functions of weighing and moisture analysis. They are essential in chemical, pharmaceutical, and food research, where precise determination of water content in samples is necessary.

What heating element does a moisture analyzer have?

Moisture analyzers are equipped with one of three heating elements: infrared IR emitter, halogen lamp, or metal heater.

How many drying profiles does a moisture analyzer have?

The MA 5Y.IC moisture analyzer offers four drying profiles: standard, mild, fast, and step.

Standard profile is the most commonly used drying profile. It allows for the most accurate determination of moisture content.
Mild profile is designed for drying substances sensitive to sudden heat emitted by heaters that operate at full power at the beginning of the process. An example of such a substance is leather.
Fast profile is used for samples with high moisture content, up to several dozen percent.
Step profile is ideal for drying substances containing more than 15% moisture. Within this profile, you can define three different temperatures. The temperature and heating duration can be determined experimentally.

What drying temperature should be set?

The drying temperature determines the duration of the process. Its value depends on the type of material. Too low a temperature results in under-drying, unnecessarily extending the measurement time, while too high a temperature causes material burning. The drying temperature for the traditional (oven) method is specified by industry or company standards. If no standards are available, the temperature can be determined experimentally.
The maximum drying temperature for the MA 5Y.IC moisture analyzer is 160°C.

How do Radwag moisture analyzers work?

Unlike standard laboratory balances, moisture analyzers are equipped with a heating element (halogen or infrared) that removes moisture from the sample by heating it. The device then calculates the mass after drying and determines the moisture content.
