Moisture analysis depends on consistency and precision for repeatable results, with accuracy hinging on even the slightest temperature fluctuation. To combat this variability, routine testing of your moisture analyzer's heating unit and weighing mechanism is crucial. This proactive approach ensures reliable determination of moisture content and keeps your instrument functioning optimally, guaranteeing trustworthy data every time.
Verify the operating temperature of the heating unit of your HX/HS/HC moisture analyzer, and adjust if necessary. Certified version.

Verify the operating temperature of the heating unit of your HE moisture analyzer, and adjust if necessary.
Routine testing of a moisture analyzer is the regular check of the heating unit, the weighing unit, and the whole moisture analyzer instrument. By regularly testing and, if necessary adjusting the instrument, you will ensure consistent and reproducible results for the entire lifetime of your moisture analyzer. Furthermore, routine testing provides documented evidence of the instrument's correct status. Periodic testing is what quality standards such as ISO 9001 require: "Measuring equipment shall be […] verified […] at specified intervals […]".
Testing is the determination of a deviation between the measured value and the true value without making any changes. Adjustment is testing plus making the changes (corrective actions) so that the measuring device is correct. Calibration is often used to describe either testing or adjustment but it is unclear what action the user actually means. That's why we distinguish between testing and adjusting to be clear about the action.
