| Determining moisture content is one of the common tests performed in laboratories. In the case of building materials, the most common method is the gravimetric method, which involves drying the material to a constant mass, and the difference in the mass of the wet and dry sample is the basis for determining moisture content. The most important disadvantages of this method include its time-consuming nature and the fact that volatile substances that are not water are also removed during drying, which can lead to false interpretations of the obtained readings. An alternative to the gravimetric method is the Karl Fischer titration method, which is characterized by selectivity for water and has been used for many years in various industries to determine water content e.g. in the pharmaceutical, food or fuel industries. This article presents the Karl Fischer method as an alternative to determining moisture in building material samples taken from real objects. In order to demonstrate the measuring capabilities of this method, samples were taken from ceramic materials and moisture/water content was determined using gravimetric, moisture analyser and Karl Fischer titration methods. Comparative analyses and statistical significance tests were then carried out to determine the differences in readings between the individual methods and it was shown that the Karl Fischer method provides more accurate moisture readings than the other methods and, although it is not widely used in the construction industry, it is a good alternative for determining the moisture of these materials. |
