Getting to know your Moisture Analyzer - Section 1
Certain samples require special care!
With certain types of samples, there is a possibility of danger to personnel or damage to
property through:
Fire or explosion:
Flammable or explosive substances;
Substances containing solvents;
Substances which release flammable or explosive vapors when heated.
With such samples, work at a drying temperature that is low enough to prevent the
formation of flames or an explosion and wear protective goggles. Should there be
any uncertainty regarding the flammability of a sample, always work with a small
sample (maximum. 1 gram). In such cases, never leave the instrument unattended! In
cases of doubt, perform a careful risk analysis.
Poisoning, burning:
Substances which contain toxic or caustic components. Such substances may be dried
only in a fume hood.
Corrosion:
Substances which release corrosive vapors when heated (e.g. acids). In the case of
such substances, we advise you to work with small amounts of samples as the vapor
can condense on cooler housing parts and cause corrosion.
Please note that the user always takes responsibility and assumes liability for damage
caused by use of the types of samples mentioned above!
Never make any modifications or constructional alterations to the instrument and use
only original spare parts and optional equipment from Ohaus Corporation.
Your Moisture Analyzer is a rugged, precision instrument but you should still treat it
carefully; it will then provide you with many years of trouble-free operation.
Please comply with all notes and instructions in these operating instructions. Keep the
instructions in a safe place where they are immediately at hand if any points are unclear.
If you lose these instructions, please contact your OHAUS dealer for an immediate re-
placement.
APPLICATION DISCLAIMER:
Moisture determination applications must be optimized and validated by the user
according to local regulations. Application specific data provided by Ohaus is provided
