The MA 5Y.IC Moisture Analyzer offers you four drying profiles: standard, mild, fast and step.
The standard profile is the usually used drying profile. It allows the most accurate determination of moisture content.
The mild profile is designed for drying substances that are sensitive to the rapid heat released by the filaments, which heat full power at the initial stage of the process. An example of such a substance is leather.
You will use the fast profile for samples with significant moisture content – of the order of even several tens of percent.
The step profile will be ideal for drying substances that contain more than 15 percent moisture. Within this profile you can define any three temperatures. You will choose the values of temperature and duration of heating experimentally.
The drying temperature determines the duration of the process. Its value depends on the type of material. If the temperature is too low, it will under-dry the sample and, consequently, unnecessarily increase the measurement time, while if it is too high, it will cause a burning effect on the material. The drying temperature for the traditional (oven) method is determined by industry or factory standards. If there are no standards, you will select the temperature experimentally.
The MA 5Y.IC Moisture Analyzer has four finish modes: automatic, manual, time-defined and user-defined.
Automatic mode - You define the moisture loss limit value in 60 seconds. When the moisture analyzer reaches the set criterion, the measurement will automatically end.
Manual mode - You terminate the measurement yourself by pressing the STOP button.
Time-defined mode - The measurement ends after the set time has elapsed regardless of the result. You have up to 99 hours 59 minutes to manage!
User-defined mode - When you remove all volatiles from a sample, by definition, its mass should be constant. During drying, the dry mass of the sample is defined by a condition: if the mass of the sample is stable within 1 mg during the observation time (Auto 1-5), we consider that all volatile components have been removed from its structure.
