Reset the measurement result.
The water content indicator and measurement
completed indicator relating to the measurement
result disappear, and the mass after drying
process appears.
*
To measure the same sample after
the measurement successively…
If you switch the mode to manual
start, you can measure successively
by pressing
after resetting the
measurement result.
Proceed to
"After Measurement", page 49.
To Obtain the Best Results
The following explains how to measure moisture content correctly.
Precaution for carrying out measurements in succession
Placing a sample on the warmed sample pan may cause moisture from the sample to
evaporate before starting measurement, causing an error in measurement result. Be sure to
use a sample pan kept at room temperature when measuring another samples.
When measuring samples in succession, keep a constant interval between the measurements
wherever possible. If the temperature inside the moisture analyzer is not stable, errors may
affect the measurement results.
Quantity and placement of powdered, particulate and viscous sample materials
A sample must be placed on the sample pan flatly. Samples cannot be heated properly if they
are not placed flatly. Placing samples in mounds or in layers of varying thickness may cause
the highest points to be burned, leading to inaccurate measurement results.
Placing a larger amount of sample flatly can lead to more accurate measurement. However, if
the amount is too large, the surface of the sample may burn before inside is dried out.
See the following figures to place the appropriate amount of sample flatly.
Proper placement
Incorrect placement
Measuring liquid samples
Depending on the sample, you can reduce the measurement time and improve the
measurement accuracy by using fiberglass (option).
