15.0 GUIDANCE NOTES
The following guide notes are offered as examples of temperature, display
update time and expected results when drying various substances. The
preparation, distribution and amount of product can all significantly effect the
results. It is important to find suitable procedures to process the material,
usually by trial and error.
In general it is recommended that a temperature of 100ºC, a time interval of
10 seconds, and a sample sized 3-8g be selected for initial test. After a
number of tests with these conditions this will provide a basis for comparing
other times, temperatures or sample preparations.
The items in the following table are taken from actual test results. The user of
the PMB analyzer will need to determine the best procedures for their
samples.
