Corrosion
Substances that release aggressive vapours (e.g. acids) during
the heating process. In this case, it is recommended to work
with
small samples. Otherwise, vapours can condense on cold
housing parts and cause corrosion.
WARNING:
Fire or explosion
Flammable or explosive substances, substances containing
solvents or releasing flammable or explosive gases or vapours.
Perform a risk analysis when in doubt relating to the sample
characteristics before carrying out the procedure.
For this type of samples apply the drying temperatures as low
as possible to prevent flames or explosion. During the analysis it
is
necessary to wear protective glasses and gloves. The samples
should be relatively small.
Under no circumstances can the instrument be left
Unsupervised!
WARNING:
Substances containing toxic and caustic or corrosive
components
Substances that release toxic gases or vapours can cause
irritations (eyes, skin or respiratory system), illnesses or even
death. Dry such substances only in fume hood.
Under no circumstances should the instrument be used in an area with
any
risk of explosion. The moisture analyzer is not designed to operate in
hazardous areas.
2.3. Intended use
A moisture analyzer MA 3Y series is designed to determine relative moisture
content in small samples of various substances, determine dry mass content
in small samples and determine mass of weighed objects.
MA 3Y ensures fast and precise determination process of water content in a
tested sample, and application of touch screen display considerably simplifies
operation and improves functionality of the moisture analyzer. A moisture
analyzer MA 3Y series can be used to determine humidity content of different
materials.
