Which equipment is used for moisture testing
The American Association of Textile Chemists and Colorists (AATCC) has developed standardized test methods used throughout the textile industry to evaluate various aspects of textiles, including their moisture content.
Equipment for Moisture Testing
- Moisture Analyzer: This device measures the moisture content of textiles by heating a sample and measuring the weight loss due to water evaporation.
- Karl Fischer Titration: This method uses a chemical titration to determine the water content of textiles by reacting the water with iodine and measuring the amount of iodine consumed.
- Oven Drying: This traditional method involves drying a sample in an oven at a specific temperature and measuring the weight loss due to moisture evaporation.
