* Final moisture content as recommended by the raw material manufacturer.
** Drying temperature as recommended by the material manufacturer.
Drying is accomplished when all material reaches the proper
temperature, and is then placed under sufficient vacuum for a sufficient
period of time.
Measurement of moisture content of material, both prior to and after
drying, is accomplished by using a moisture analyzer.
