Measuring method – Calcium hydride method
The measuring method used is the recognized calcium hydride method that has been in use at Brabender Messtechnik for more than 30 years. Since 30.04.2019 the measuring method of the AQUATRAC-V is described as Method E – Determination of water content by the calcium hydride method, in DIN EN ISO 15512:2019 “Plastics – Determination of water content”.
