Dynamic Vapor Sorption Instrument (DVS) is a gravimetric vapor adsorption instrument. It uses a microbalance (accuracy can reach one millionth) to measure the weight change of the sample before and after adsorption and desorption under a certain relative partial pressure to determine the water absorption of the sample. The amount of adsorption and desorption of
