These test methods determine the amount of moisture contained in a cellulose sample which determines the amount of bone dry cellulose present in a sample. The actual amount of cellulose in a sample is an essential entity when using cellulose as a starting material for the production of cellulose derivatives.
Область применения1.1 These test methods cover the determination of moisture in cellulose using two oven-drying procedures and one Karl Fischer procedure.
1.2 The test procedures appear in the following order:
Sections Test Method A—Specimen Weighed in Oven4-10 Test Method B—Specimen Weighed Outside of Oven11-17 Test Method C—Karl Fischer Method18-251.3 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. The values given in parentheses are for information only.
