OBJECTIVE:
ABSTRACT:
The water content is with the processing of high-quality technical plastics an important
parameter for the quality of the manufactured product. The measurement should take place
fast and be simple to accomplish. Switch on the apparatus and set the alarm on. Press the
vacuum pressure button and set 50oC temperature to warm up the moisture meter. Set the
temperature according to each specimen (Polystyrene, Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene and
Polypropylene). Wait for the alarm to ring. When the alarm starts ringing, record the reading
and turn off the alarm. Water and calcium hydride react with one another under hydrogen
development. Set the temperature at 50oC for 10 seconds and then release the pressure. Apply
cooling affect by pressing cooling fan button. By performing these steps, the apparatus is ready
to carry out the same experiment with other samples. Moisture in ABS is greater than that of PS
and PP with a slight difference.
INTRODUCTION:
Given Samples:
Fig.2 Polypropylene
Fig.3 Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene
Fig.4 Polystyrene
EXPERIMENTATION:
Switch on the moisture meter and set the alarm on.
Press the vacuum pressure button and set 50oC temperature to warm up the moisture
meter
Set the temperature according to each specimen(Polystyrene, Acrylonitrile butadiene
styrene and Polypropylene)
Wait for the alarm to ring.
When the alarm starts ringing, record the reading and turn off the alarm.
Water and calcium hydride react with one another under hydrogen development after the
following reaction equation:
Set the temperature at 50oC for 10 seconds and then release the pressure.
Apply cooling affect by pressing cooling fan button.
By performing these steps, the apparatus is ready to carry out the same experiment with
other samples.
TABLE OF CALCULATIONS:
Following table illustrates the results made by this experiment
CONCLUSION:
Moisture in ABS is greater than that of PS and PP with a slight difference.
Water content measurement gives the idea of the usage of material with or without any
further processing treatment.
