EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of ISO 11093-3 testing. This standard specifies an oven method for determining the moisture content of wrapped paper and cardboard cores at the time of sampling. The method can be taken for all types of cores where water is the main volatile component to escape at the specified drying temperature.
Moisture content is an important property to evaluate in paper and cardboard cores as it can significantly affect their dimensional stability, strength and overall performance. The oven drying method is a common technique used to determine the moisture content of materials, including paper and cardboard.
The test procedure outlined in ISO 11093-3 involves cutting representative samples of paper or cardboard core. These samples are then weighed to determine their initial weight. The samples are then placed in an oven set to a specific temperature for a specific time. The heat causes the moisture in the samples to evaporate and the samples are weighed periodically until a constant weight is reached. The change in weight is used to calculate the moisture content of the samples.
Measuring the moisture content of paper and cardboard cores is very important because excess moisture can cause problems such as warping, reduced strength and mold growth. Accurate moisture content measurements help ensure cores meet required quality standards and function effectively in their intended applications.
