Drying Oven vs. Halogen Moisture Analyzer

This white paper guides the analyst through the process of choosing between oven drying and fast halogen moisture analysis. It explains the key decision criteria surrounding the choice of method and provides practical guidance on how to demonstrate that the two different methods (drying oven and halogen moisture analyzer) for establishing the moisture content of a sample deliver comparable results. In addition, two alternative and acceptable comparison approaches are outlined here: the first approach is based on specific process requirements (tolerances), and the second approach is based on statistical analysis of the data obtained.
