Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does a moisture balance work compared to a drying oven?
A moisture balance uses the thermogravimetric principle, continuously weighing the sample while it is heated by a halogen lamp to provide a faster result than the traditional oven-drying method.
2. Why should I use glass fibre filters with my samples?
Filters are used for liquid, pasty, or fat-containing samples to prevent splashing and to distribute the sample evenly for more consistent and rapid evaporation.
3. Do I need to calibrate the temperature of my moisture analyser?
Yes; to ensure accuracy and compliance with quality standards, the heating unit should be checked regularly using a validated temperature calibration kit like those from OHAUS.
4. Can I reuse the aluminium sample dishes?
While some dishes can be cleaned, using disposable aluminium dishes is highly recommended to prevent cross-contamination and ensure that residues from previous tests do not affect your results.
