European Standard specifies a procedure to determine the moisture content of an 2 Definitions For the purposes of this standard the following definition applies: moisture content: The ratio
11、 between the loss of mass of a test specimen by drying at (105 i 2) “C and the initial mass of the same test specimen. 3 Principle The moisture content is determined by drying the test specimen at (1 05 i 2) C until a constant mass is obtained. The test specimen is weighed before and after this oper
12、ation. 4 Apparatus 4.1 An analytical balance (with sensitivity of 0,l mg) 4.2 Weighing containers, water-vapour proof and with tightly fitting lids 4.3 Oven, capable of being controlled at (105 k 2)C, and suitably ventilated 4.4 Tongs 4.5 A desiccator with desiccating agent 5 Preparation of the test
13、 specimen A representative part of the laboratory bulk sample shall be drawn and mixed. From this, two test specimens of about 5 g weighed with an accuracy of 1 mg each shall be drawn, taking care to avoid humidity variation, and placed into containers (4.2). 6 Procedure 6.1 The uncovered container
14、and the lid shall be placed for 2 h I 10 min in the oven at a temperature of (1 05 f 2) C. The container shall then be covered, and using clean tongs quickly transferred to the desiccator. After cooling to room temperature for not less than 1 h the covered container shall be weighed. This procedure
15、shall be repeated until a constant mass, within 1 mg, is obtained. 6.2 A representative test specimen of about 5 g weighed with an accuracy of 1 mg shall then be transferred as quick as possible to the predried container taking care to avoid humidity variations. The container shall be covered with a
16、 lid and weighed with an accuracy of 1 mg. Page 4 EN 1161 :1996 6.3 The containers and the lids shall be placed separately in the oven and dried at (105 * 2) OC. After drying for 1 h k 10 min the container and the lid shall be transferred using clean tongs to the desiccator, and allowed to cool for
17、not less than 1 h. After cooling to room temperature, the containers with the lids shall be transferred using clean tongs to the analytical balance and weighed. The heating, cooling and weighing cycle shall be repeated until the mass of the container with a dried lid is constant to within 1 mg. 6.4
18、Repeat the procedure on a second test specimen. 7 Expression of results The moisture content, M, as a percentage, is calculated as follows: A-B A-C IMC = - .loo where A B C is the mass of the container with lid and undried individual sample; is the mass of the container with lid and dried individual
19、 sample; is the mass of the container with dried lid. All masses shall be expressed in grams, to three decimal places. Calculate the mean for the two determinations, with the approximation to the nearest integer. 8 Test report The test report shall include at least the following information: - the reference to this standard; - date and place of testing; - identification mark of the individual sample tested; - the arithmetic mean result to the nearest integer in accordance with clause 7; - any departure from the procedure and any other circumstances that can have affected the result.
