2. Examples of RsFig display

 

RsFig imports CSV data for moisture content rate measurement process and results and displays it as a
graph.   
The horizontal axis represents elapsed time (min.) from start of measurement, while the vertical axis
represents moisture content rate (%). Heating evaporates moisture and the sample mass begins to
decrease. The moisture content rate is calculated from this decrease and displayed as a graph.  The
point where changes no longer occur (where the line flattens) determines the moisture rate.
Measurement results can be overlapped on a single screen (page), as shown below. 

Sodium tartrate dihydrate heated from 100 ºC to 200 ºC at intervals of 20 ºC. 

Sodium tartrate dihydrate measured five times at 160 ºC. All five moisture content 
lines overlap, which indicates high repeatability.
