What is ISO 16632 - Gas chromatographic method about?
ISO 16632 specifies a gas-chromatographic (GC) method for the determination of water content.
Note1: It is applicable to raw tobacco as well as tobacco taken from finished products.
Note 2: The method is suitable for water contents ranging at least from a mass fraction of 2 % to 55 %.
Who is ISO 16632 - Gas chromatographic method for?
ISO 16632 on gas chromatographic method is useful for:
- Tobacco and tobacco products manufacturers and suppliers
- Analysis in inter-laboratory testing
- Product development / innovation / research teams
- Quality control teams
Why should you use ISO 16632 - Gas chromatographic method?
Gas chromatography is a common type of chromatography used in analytical chemistry for separating and analysing compounds that can be vaporized without decomposition.
ISO 16632 provides you with specific test procedures for determining the water content of tobacco and tobacco products.
ISO 16632 gives you information about the Gas chromatography test methods for determining the water content of tobacco and tobacco products.
What’s changed since the last update?
BS ISO 16632:2021 supersedes ISO 16632:2013, which is withdrawn. The main changes compared to the previous edition are as follows:
