Loss on Drying (LOD) for Quality Control

Industrial labs in Dammam utilize ovens for LOD tests to determine the moisture content in raw materials like polymers or chemical catalysts. The critical use case involves the precise regulation of the internal environment to ensure that moisture is removed without degrading the sample itself. Inaccurate temperature regulation during LOD can lead to incorrect moisture readings, compromising the stability and efficacy of the final product. Vega Calibration provides high-resolution calibration for temperature stability and accuracy, accounting for the unique operational stressors of the saline coastal environment.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q: Why is spatial mapping necessary? Can't I just use a single-point calibration?

A: A single-point calibration only tells you the temperature at the sensor's location. In an oven, air circulation patterns and insulation gaps create temperature gradients. Spatial mapping (9-point or 27-point) is the only way to prove that your entire batch is being heated uniformly, which is a mandatory requirement for pharmaceutical and automotive audits.

Q: How do you handle calibration for Vacuum Ovens where there is no air for convection?

A: Calibration in a vacuum is technically challenging because heat is transferred primarily through conduction via the shelves. We use specialized contact probes or "thermal pads" to ensure accurate measurement of the shelf temperature, which is the actual heating surface for your product.

Q: What is the significance of "Temperature Recovery Time" in an audit?

A: When you open an oven door to load a sample, the temperature drops. Auditors want to know how quickly the oven returns to its setpoint. If the recovery is too slow, your product might not spend enough time at the required temperature, compromising sterilization or curing. We quantify this recovery time as part of our validation.

Q: My oven display shows 150°C, but my internal thermometer shows 148°C. Is this a failure?

A: Not necessarily. Every system has a "Tolerance" or "Acceptance Criteria." As your Quality Manager, we help you define these limits based on your process requirements. We then adjust the oven's offset to align the display with the master standard, ensuring technical accuracy.
