Moisture Testing Data

Equipment

The following equipment is often employed for moisture testing:

Gravimetric analysis

• Standard technique that utilizes a drying oven to remove moisture from a sample.

Karl Fischer titration

• Chemical analysis technique that measures the amount of water in a sample.

Capacitance probes

• Electronic sensors that measure the dielectric properties of a material to determine moisture content.

Microwave moisture meters

• Non-destructive method that utilizes microwaves to measure moisture content in a sample.

Infrared moisture analyzers

• Non-destructive method that uses infrared radiation to measure moisture content in a sample.

Moisture sensors

• Electronic devices that are inserted into a material to measure moisture content in real-time.

Flow Meters

• Used to measure the flow of a gas or liquid, which can be analyzed to determine moisture content.

Hygrometers

• Measure the relative humidity of the air or other gas.

Psychrometers

• Measure the humidity of a gas or liquid by comparing the temperatures of two thermometers, one wet and one dry.
