Standard Test Method for Determination of Moisture in Plastics by Relative Humidity Sensor

Importancia y uso:

5.1 This test method is intended for use as a control, acceptance, and assessment test.

5.2 Moisture can seriously affect the processability of plastics. It is possible that high moisture content will cause surface imperfections (that is, splay or bubbling) or degradation by hydrolysis. Low moisture (with high temperature) has been known to cause solid phase polymerization.

5.3 The physical properties of some plastics are greatly affected by the moisture content.
