Moisture Mapping Moisture Analysis and Measurement Official Methods of Moisture Content Determination

Moisture Mapping

Moisture Mapping is a process of determining the moisture content of a material or substance. It can be used to ensure the quality and safety of products, as well as to identify and resolve moisture-related issues.

Moisture Analysis and Measurement Techniques

Moisture mapping relies on a variety of moisture analysis and measurement techniques to determine the moisture content of a material. The choice of technique depends on the material being tested and the desired accuracy and precision of the results.

  • Karl Fischer Titration
  • Gravimetric Analysis
  • Hygrometer Measurement
  • Electrical Impedance Spectroscopy
  • Microwave Drying
  • Near-Infrared (NIR) Spectroscopy
  • Neutron Scattering

Official Methods of Moisture Content Determination

Several official methods have been established for determining the moisture content of materials. These methods are recognized by regulatory agencies and organizations. They include:

  • ASTM D2216 – Standard Test Methods for Moisture Content of Soil and Rock by Drying
  • AOAC 950.01 – Official Method for Moisture in Meat and Meat Products
  • ISO 554 – Determination of Moisture Content in Cocoa and Chocolate
  • ISO 660 – Determination of Moisture Content in Oils and Fats
  • TAPPI T 264 cm-97 – Moisture Content of Paper and Paperboard by Oven Drying

By following these official methods, reliable and accurate moisture content determinations can be obtained. This information can be used to ensure the quality and safety of products, as well as to identify and resolve moisture-related issues.
