Which equipment is used for moisture testing?

The evaluation of moisture content is vital in various industries. In ISO Methods, the determination of moisture content is often achieved using the following equipment:

• Moisture analyzers: These devices, often referred to as moisture balances, measure moisture content using various techniques such as gravimetric analysis or Karl Fischer titration.
• Hygrometers: Hygrometers measure the moisture content of gases or solids. Different types of hygrometers include electrical hygrometers, psychrometers, and mechanical hygrometers.
• Hot plates: Hot plates are used in conjunction with other methods to remove moisture by evaporation. The loss in mass is then used to determine moisture content.
• Karl Fischer titrator: This is a specific type of volumetric titration used to determine the moisture content of samples. It involves reacting the sample with Karl Fischer reagent, which contains iodine, sulfur dioxide, and pyridine.
