8 Moisture Content

MOISTURE CONTENT
Under normal atmospheric conditions, all textile materials retain moisture. The percentage held varies with different textiles. It is determined by weighing a test quantity of material to ascertain the conditioned weight. The material is then dried in a conditioning oven to bone dry weight, whence the percentage moisture content can be calculated from the difference between the bone-dry and the conditioned weights (see moisture in cotton). On removal from the drying oven the material again absorbs moisture, the amount absorbed being termed " regain." The percentage of regain is based upon bone-dry weight as 100 per cent. To dry silk to constant weight, a heat at 130 deg. to 140 deg. C. (266 deg. to 284 deg. F.) is maintained in the conditioning oven. Regain in moisture in silk is 11 per cent when taken out and kept in a room of which the atmospheric condition is controlled at 70 deg. F. and a relative humidity of 65 per cent.
