Sample Material; Sample Size / Originally Weighted In Quantity - KERN and SOHN DAB-BA-def-1813 Mode D'emploi

13.5 Sample material

Easy to determine are usually samples with the following characteristics:
Grainy to powdery, pourable solids

Thermally stable materials, emitting the moisture to be determined easily

without other substances evaporating at the same time
Liquids that vaporize to leave a dry substance without developing a film

Difficult to determine may be samples that are:
Glutinous or sticky

Become incrusted easily or tend to form a film

Decompose easily under the influence of heat or emit various elements


13.6 Sample size / originally weighted in quantity

Drying times, as well as achievable accuracy, are significantly influenced by sample
distribution. In the course of this arise two opposed requirements:
The lighter the originally weighted in quantity, the easier it is to achieve shorter drying
times. However, the heavier the originally weighted in quantity, the more accurate a
result.
