The moisture content shall be determined by pulverizing the entire sample coarsely on a clean surface by hand, using rubber gloves. Twenty-five to 50 grams shall be placed in a prepared evaporating dish and weighed. The sample shall then be placed in an oven at 103 to 105 degrees centigrade for 1 hour. The dish shall be cooled in a desiccator to 20 degrees centigrade for 1 hour and then reweighed. The cycle of drying, cooling, and weighing shall be repeated until a constant weight is obtained or until the weight loss is less than 4 percent of the previous weight.
Percent Moisture = [(A-B)/(A-C)] x 100
Where:
A = Weight of evaporating dish and original sample, grams
B = Weight of evaporating dish and oven dried sample, grams
C = Weight of evaporating dish, grams.
