6-5. How to Make a Moisture Value Bias Adjustment
The calibration curves (scale) for this unit were prepared by determining the relationship between the
moisture of paper resulting from a drying method and the electrical resistance of the paper, and then
statistically processing these results. However, the standard measurement method and the moisture
value may not agree as a result of various conditions such as the type and thickness of the paper. In
these cases, a moisture content bias adjustment can be made (-9.9 to +9.9% with respect to each
calibration curve) by the following method.

 7. Preparing a Calibration Curve
7-1. What is a Calibration Curve?
In general, calibration curves for an electrical resistance
type moisture meter indicate the relationship between the
electrical resistance value for each sample and the moisture
previously determined by a standard method. <Example of preparation of a calibration curve>
These may be expressed as an equation, a graph, a table,

Moisture value(standard method) [%]

or some other form. Calibration curves for the HK-300 (for
copying paper and cardboard) show the relationship between
the electrical resistance value for paper measured using a grip
sensor, rubber sensor, or pressure sensor and the moisture
value determined by a standard method.
Depending on various conditions such as the type and
thickness of paper and other factors, the relationship
between the electrical resistance value and the moisture
can differ greatly. Accordingly, depending on the paper, the
correct moisture value may not be able to be measured by Count value (HK-300)
the calibration curves of this unit.
In this case, use the moisture value bias correction function
(p. 19, "6-5"), or prepare a calibration curve for the sample
from the relationship of the count value in the count mode
and the moisture value according to a standard method.

26
7-2. Precautions when Preparing a Calibration Curve
* Prepare the calibration curve with the same sensor as when measuring
the sample. If the sensor is different, accurate measurements cannot
be made.
* Prepare the calibration curve in the same environment as when
measuring the sample. Errors will become particularly large if the
temperature changes.
* In cases where the temperature at the time of measurement differs with
the seasons or other factors, prepare and enter multiple calibrations
curves for each temperature.
