The Materials Analyst Part 119: The science and mythology of measuring moisture content in plastic materials—Part3

摘要

Will the day come when an accurate plug-and-play moisture analyzer is available to the masses? Not without an acknowledgement of the problems with our current systems. Let us assume for a moment that you have conducted the experiments on your loss-on-drying (LOD) system that were outlined in Part 2 of this series, and the instrument has failed to provide any indication that it is capable of extracting and measuring a fixed mass of volatile material. This alone would appear to be a major concern regarding the accuracy of the instrument.
