Detailed Measurement
Measuring Samples by Setting Temperature Step by Step
(STEP: Stepped drying mode)
In the Stepped Drying mode, you can set the drying temperature and time in one to three
steps for measurement purposes. As the ending condition, you can select either the amount of
change in moisture content per 30 seconds or the time. After measuring a sample by changing
drying temperature in two or three steps, when the amount of change in moisture content per 30
seconds drops below the set value, or the time reaches the set value, the measurement terminates
automatically. Set the temperature and time of the first step, the temperature and time of the
second step (∆M if measurement ends at the second step), the temperature of the third step, and
∆M or time as the ending condition.
If the crystal of hydrate is dried off, heat changes its composition. As a result, moisture content
may be measured differently depending on the drying temperature. Stepped drying mode,
setting the drying temperature in maximum three steps, is suitable for measuring moisture
content at different temperatures.
