A predetermined test sample is used to test a measuring instrument (10) for gravimetric moisture determination. The measuring instrument has a test chamber (30), a weighing device (40) for determining the mass of a sample contained in a sample holder (60) in a measuring position in the test chamber, and at least one means for heating (31) the sample on the sample holder. The test sample is placed on the sample holder and its initial mass is determined. The test chamber is heated, using a predefined temperature profile. After heating, the subsequent mass of the test sample is determined, using the weighing device. By comparing this subsequent mass to a reference mass for the test sample, a signal corresponding to the result of the comparison is generated and transmitted. |
