Manual switch off With this switch off criterion the measurements process continues until you stop it with the keys START STOP Timed switch off With this switch off criterion the measurement lass until the present drying time has elapsed 13 6 Analysis of drying profile In the first type the drying profile is asymptotic The amount of moisture lost assumes a constant value and no longer changes after drying time With this drying profile repeatable determinations of the moisture content are always simple 68 The measurement result then corresponds exactly to the constant value of the asymptote It is also correspondingly easy to find a suitable switch off criterion In the second type drying runs quickly at the start and then flattens out The moisture content never assumes a constant value The causes of such a drying profile can be as follows The sample exhibits thermal decomposition the decomposition products other volatile components can lead to superimposed profiles owing to their slower vaporization than water The difficult to volatilize components lead to a slow continuous decrease in weight Measurements results of such a drying profile can be optimized eLowering the temperature can slow down the decomposition reaction eThe selection of a suitable switch off criterion can allow recognition of the end of the analysis at the desired break point of the drying curve e The selection of a constant drying time often
