Halogen Oven Moisture Content Determination

The quality of the results are dependent upon three things: the sample size, the drying temperature, and the drying time.

The following table gives sample weights needed to attain a specified level of repeatability

The optimum drying time and temperature are dependent upon the nature and size of the sample, and the desired accuracy of the measurement. These times and temperatures can only be determined by experimentation.
