Ending Criteria
This ending criterion is called the Reliability, and
Some samples contain more than one volatile material, for example, nylon resins with large amounts of unpolymerized material Caprolactam. In these cases, the rate will fall to some fixed value when all the moisture is evaporated but while the monomer is still evaporating. The graphical display available from the Main Test Screen is of great help in visualizing these cases. The rate ending criteria, if set above the rate of monomer volatilization, may give the best results
