The TORBAL Moisture Analyzer is a sensitive and delicate instrument that generates heat up to 160°C. Many parts and surfaces of the moisture analyzer get extremely HOT. Always handle the analyzer with care and use EXCESSIVE CAUTION when operating the moisture analyzer.

The primary function of the device is to make precise measurements that allow the user to determine the moisture content of various materials using the principle of thermo-gravimetric analysis – mass loss of a sample caused by rapid drying due to an increase in temperature. Drying and configuration parameters such as the drying time, temperature, and sample weight, are determined by the user. The parameter should be established by evaluating the physiochemical properties of a sample which will undergo the analysis. Optimum configuration parameters are also often derived through trial-and-error.

Important Safety Warnings:

• Do not test flammables, explosives, or things that produce dangerous or noxious vapors.
• Do not test unknown substances.
• Do not place anything on top of the analyzer’s venting grill (perforated top cover of the unit).
• Do not pass anything over the top of the unit when drying is in progress. Never pass fluids over the perforated cover (a spill can be disastrous).
• If a sample catches fire, first pull the power plug from the power outlet, and then extinguish the flame.
• Always assume the Drying Chamber is hot when you open the cover. As the internal parts can retain heat, allow adequate time for cooling before touching any of the internal surfaces.
• Never touch a halogen lamp unless you are about to replace it, and you are sure the analyzer is off and halogens have cooled down.
