The determination of moisture is often a critical component in manufacturing processes and quality assurance.
Moisture analysis is applicable across a variety of industrial applications where precise moisture in percentage amounts is monitored as a specification, or the moisture content is highly controlled for product or material integrity.
Moisture analysis is commonly used in:
Setting the standard for near-infrared (NIR) spectral analysis
Near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy can detect the water content and activity in a wide range of materials, and over a large range of concentrations.
ASD’s portable and at-line Vis/NIR systems are ideally suited for the real-time measurement of moisture with easy-to-use, non-destructive testing in just about any environment.
Concentrations ranging from 0.01% and up can be accommodated by selection of the appropriate wavelength range, thus making ASD’s technology the ideal tool for accurate and flexible moisture analysis in raw and in-process materials, as well as finished product.
Traditional laboratory methods such as loss on drying (LOD) require time consuming steps such as oven heating and dry time in a desiccator to determine the loss of weight. Even newer automated moisture analysis equipment still requires a few minutes of drying time to determine the drying curve.
All of these techniques require sample prep, and upon completion of the procedure, the sample is destroyed.
