1.3 What is a Moisture Analyzer?
The Ohaus Halogen Moisture Analyzer can be used to determine the moisture content of practically any substance.
The instrument operates on the thermogravimetric principle: At the start of the measurement, the Moisture Analyzer
determines the weight of the sample; the sample is then quickly heated by the integral halogen dryer unit and mois-
ture vaporizes. During the drying operation, the instrument continuously determines the weight of the sample and
displays the result. On completion of drying, result is displayed as % moisture content, % solids, weight or %
regain.
