The purpose of the dynamic vapor sorption (DVS) analyzer is to record the time-dependent i.e. dynamic response of a small sample’s mass when subjected to step-changes in surrounding hygrothermal conditions. Sample mass is measured densely and the recorded time series data can be used to make conclusions about the material-specific water vapor sorption kinetics and calculations of rate of sorption in different conditions.
