Instruments for determination of humidity by the standard method (Drying)

The moisture content of a product is determined by its water content. The method of drying, in determining the moisture content, is the most reliable. The principle is that a sample of product is dried to a constant mass and the difference in readings between the initial mass and the mass of the dry residue, calculate the amount of moisture. To determine the moisture content of cereals, legumes, oilseeds and derived products are used such methods of drying: the method of drying to a constant mass in a desiccator at a temperature of 105 ° C and 130 ° C and the method of drying infrared rays.

This method determines the moisture content in the pre-milled product.
