 5.3. Proper Operation for Precision Measurement
5.3.1. Operation of the sample
Use a proper sample quantity. If the quantity is small, precise results may not be possible.
If the moisture content of the sample (example: plastic) can be estimated that is less
than 1%, the mass of moisture is not enough for the measurement, when measuring
light sample, the result may not be accurate. Consider the following sample mass for
the measurement.
An estimate of moisture content 1% 0.5% 0.1%
Necessary mass for measurement 2 g at least 5 g at least 20 g at least
If the measurement is repeated, maintain the same sample quantity.
Crush grain samples to a small, uniform powder for a quick drying process.
Spread the sample as evenly as possible.
The analyzer is designed to measure the moisture content
of the sample by its weight change. If the sample includes No good Good
volatile matter, it may vaporize during drying causing a
measurement error.
When measuring a liquid or liquid state sample that may make a film on the surface,
we recommend you use a glass fiber sheet (AX-MX-32-2).

5.3.2. Operation of the analyzer

Press the RESET key to display the zero value before
each measurement. 0.000g
Check that the displayed sample weight is stable before 2.02
measurement. Press the START key 5.43% %/min
to start a
Result display

measurement.
Select the proper Analysis Mode to finish a measurement. Use the change of moisture
content per one minute [%/min] that is displayed during measurement as a reference
value.
The analyzer needs a pre-heating process before measurement. When measuring
samples repeatedly or continuously, the first result is always different from the others.
The pre-heating process is as follows: Put a sample pan, instead of a sample, on the
pan. Press the START key to heat it. The analyzer temperature becomes equilibrium.
Use a sample on the sample pan that has cooled to room temperature. When a sample is
put on a hot sample pan, the moisture content is diffused before measurement, and
precise results are not possible. We recommend you use multiple sample pans.
Do not pile up sample pans during a measurement.
Avoid drift and vibration of air conditioners. It may cause "measurement error" and
"unstable value". In particular, because MS-70 is sensitive instrument, it is
necessary to consider these influences.
When the difference between ambient temperature and sample temperature is
small, it may cause temperature control error.
Example: If the heating temperature is crossed to the range of 30°C and 50°C, it is
affected by an room temperature.
Check the activation of the halogen lamp with the operation indicator.
Example: If low heating temperature is set, the brightness of halogen lamp becomes dark.
Check the activation with
blinking

MS-70 / MX-50 / MF-50 / ML-50 17

5.3.3. The Glass Fiber Sheets
Use the glass fiber sheet to measure the moisture content
that is included in the following samples. When this sheet is
used, vaporization of moisture is speeded up and moisture
measurement result becomes quick and precise.
This accessory (AX-MX-32-1) is a package of 100 glass fiber sheets.
This accessory is inclued in the packing for MS-70, MX-50 and MF-50.
Purchase this accessory by your order for ML-50.
Use the glass fiber sheet (AX-MX32-1) for high surface tension liquid sample.

Example 1 : "Liquid Sample" Or "Meltable Sample"

When the glass fiber sheet is used for these measurements, moisture is more apt to
vaporize because of expanding the surface area and space. And the glass fiber
sheet has the effect of preventing a surface film from forming at drying process.
A sample including a lot of moisture

 8.2. Test Sample (Sodium Tartrate Dihydrate)
---Test sample (Sodium tartrate dihydrate, Na 2 C4 H4 O6 •2H 2O )---
Sodium tartrate dihydrate is used to check the accuracy of measurement for the
analyzer.
As an ideal substance on theory, sodium tartrate dihydrate includes moisture
content of 15.66% in the molecule. But the moisture content may change due to
conditions of storage.
The moisture content of 15.0 to 16.0% is obtained by the method below.
(Unit % is based on wet sample)
Sodium tartrate is contained in food (example : wine). If it may irritate the eyes and
nose, wash with water.
The test sample can not be used repeatedly. Dispose of it as flammable matter.
In case of MS-70 MX-50 and MF-50, test sample is included in these packing list.
In case of ML-50, purchase the test sample of accessory.

Caution A hot sample pan may cause an error. Allow the pan to cool before the
next test.

 12.2. Calibration of the Weighting Sensor
A standard mass of 20g or 50g can be used for the calibration
A 20g standard mass (AX-MX-41) is recommend.
Caution
Avoid vibration and drafts that affect the calibration. If affected, the analyzer
may be unable to calibrate the weighing sensor.
Use a 20g mass for the calibration, because the height between the weighing
pan and glass-housing is 26 mm. If a tall mass is used, open the glass-housing
and avoid external influence.
