Scope:

ASTM D6869-03 method determines moisture in most plastics. Plastics containing volatile components interfere with the Iodine/water reaction. High moisture content causes surface imperfections or degradation by hydrolysis. Low moisture content causes polymerization. ASTM D6869-03 method is suitable for measuring moisture over the range of 0.005 to 100 %.

Test Procedure:

Sample is heated to vaporize water transported by a nitrogen carrier gas to the titration cell. The moisture collected in the solution within the titration cell is determined using the reaction of water with iodine. Coulometric instruments use Faraday’s law to measure the moisture present with 10.71 Coulombs(C) generating current corresponding to 1 mg of water (2I- → I₂ + 2e-). Volumetric instruments measure the volume of solution containing iodine required to keep the current constant.
