Metrology for moisture in materials
Annotation in Czech
Active ingredients in pharmaceuticals, carbon-fibre composites, polymers, novel cellulose-based active paper, food powders, biomass ? all of these and many other solid materials are highly affected by moisture when processing into various products. Errors and inconsistencies in moisture measurement and control in industrial processes lead to decreased process speed/throughput and increased wastage, shortened durability of biomaterials, increased energy consumption in drying and increased fine particle emissions in biomass combustion. More than 1300 documentary standards are in active use because available measurement methods, reference methods and even the current definitions for moisture as a measurand are material specific.
