Water Vapor Sorption Analyzer
(Dynamic Vapor Sorption Analyzer)
Water sorption behavior plays an important role in the
manufacture and design of
many commonly encountered and
advanced materials.
Some examples include:
PEM fuel cell components
Drying and storage of grains
Texture and shelf life of food products
Stability of pharmaceutical excipients and drug actives
Mortar, grout and other cementitious materials
Paper and coatings
Hydrophobic surface treatments
Microporous and nanostructured carbons
Rehydroxylation studies
Water sorption measurement has traditionally been either slow and laborious, or limited to small quantities of material. Aquadyne DVS is the latest innovation in water sorption characterization and overcomes these limitations. It offers fully automated, rapid measurement of adsorption and desorption water isotherms on two samples simultaneously. Accurate water vapor dosing is made possible by using mass flow controllers and a solid state RH sensor.
