Flammable or explosive substances, substances containing
solvents or releasing flammable or explosive gases or
vapours.
Perform a risk analysis when in doubt relating to the sample
characteristics before carrying out the procedure.
For this type of samples apply the drying temperatures as
low as possible to prevent flames or explosion. During the
analysis it is
necessary to wear protective glasses and gloves. The
samples
should be relatively small.
Under no circumstances can the instrument be left
Unsupervised!
WARNING:
Substances containing toxic and caustic or corrosive
components
Substances that release toxic gases or vapours can cause
irritations (eyes, skin or respiratory system), illnesses or
even death. Dry such substances only in fume hood.
Under no circumstances should the instrument be used in an area with
any
risk of explosion. The moisture analyzer is not designed to operate in
hazardous areas.
2.3. Intended use
A moisture analyzer MA 3Y series is designed to determine relative moisture
content in small samples of various substances, determine dry mass content in
small samples and determine mass of weighed objects.
MA 3Y ensures fast and precise determination process of water content in a
tested sample, and application of touch screen display considerably simplifies
operation and improves functionality of the moisture analyzer. A moisture
analyzer MA 3Y series can be used to determine humidity content of different
materials.
At the initial stage of measurement, the device precisely determines the mass
of an object placed on instrument’s weighing pan. As the mass reading is
stabilized, the sample is quickly heated by a halogen lamp, an IR emitter or a
metal heater causing humidity evaporation from the tested sample. While
sampling, the moisture analyzer is continuously checking the loss of mass, and
on calculation, it displays current moisture content in a tested sample.
Compared to conventional methods of humidity content determination of
various substances, application of moisture analyzer MA 3Y series
