Potentiometric Moisture Analysis is a technique used to measure the moisture content of a material by detecting the changes in electrical potential between two electrodes embedded in the material. The electrodes are made of noble metals, such as gold or platinum, and are connected to a potentiometric circuit.

How does potentiometric moisture analysis work?

When the electrodes are inserted into the material, they come into contact with the water molecules present in the material. The water molecules form a film on the surface of the electrodes, and the electrical potential between the electrodes changes. The change in electrical potential is directly proportional to the moisture content of the material.

What are the advantages of potentiometric moisture analysis?

• High accuracy and precision.
• Wide range of measurement.
• Non-destructive.
• Can be used in a variety of materials, including food, paper, and soil.

What are the applications of potentiometric moisture analysis?

Potentiometric moisture analysis is used in a wide range of applications, including:

• Food analysis.
• Paper analysis.
• Soil analysis.
• Water damage assessment.

## What is a moisture tester called?

A moisture tester is also known as a hygrometer.
