Which equipment is used for moisture testing

Technical Association of the Pulp and Paper Industry (TAPPI) methods are widely recognized as the global standard for testing paper, pulp, and related materials.

Which Equipment is Used for Moisture Testing?

Determination of moisture content is critical in the production of paper and paperboard. It directly impacts the quality and performance of the final product. Accurate and efficient determination of moisture content requires the use of specialized equipment.

TAPPI methods provide detailed guidelines for moisture testing using the following equipment:

• Ovens: Ovens are used to remove moisture from a sample by evaporation.
• Moisture analyzers: Moisture analyzers use various techniques, such as infrared and microwave drying, to determine moisture content.
• Karl Fischer titration: Karl Fischer titration is a chemical method used to determine moisture content in a sample.
