1.1 About Halogen Moisture Analyzer
Moisture analyzers work according to the thermogravimetric principle.
Moisture is determined by the direct weight lost by the sample due to
heating from an intense halogen light.
The U.S. Solid USS-HMA03 Halogen Moisture Analyzer determines the
initial weight of the sample. The sample is quickly heated by the internal
halogen dryer unit causing the moisture to vaporize. During the drying
operation, the instrument continuously determines the weight of the
sample and displays the loss of moisture. Upon drying completion, the
moisture content or the dry solids content of the sample is displayed.
