About Absorbed Moisture Testing
Absorbed moisture testing is critical in assessing the amount of moisture retained in welding consumables such as electrodes, fluxes, and wires. Excessive moisture can lead to hydrogen-related weld defects, including porosity and cracking. Ensuring minimal moisture absorption helps improve weld integrity and performance in demanding environments.
