KF Coulometre
At bestemme lavt fugt- og vandindhold i prøver er ikke et problem for disse coulometre.
Highlights
Coulometrisk Karl Fischer-titrering er den ideelle metode til at bestemme lavt fugt- og vandindhold i prøver (0,001 til 1 % vandindhold). Vores udvalg af coulometre dækker ethvert behov og kan kombineres med KF ovnmetoden til svære prøver.
- Nøjagtig og pålidelig bestemmelse af sporniveau vandindhold i området fra 0,001 til 1 %
- Forskellige versioner tilgængelige, fx stand-alone eller computerstyret
- Vanskelige prøver kan let analyseres med ovnmetode
- Overholdelse med FDA Regulation 21 CFR Part 11 og EudraLex, bind 4, bilag 11

Prøveforberedelse og automatisering til coulometrisk KF-titrering
For vanskelige prøver, f.eks. faste prøver eller prøver, der ikke let opløses, kan du anvende KF-ovnmetoden. I denne metode opvarmes prøven i en ovn indtil vandet frigives, og vanddampen overføres til titreringsbeholderen til måling.
Vi tilbyder både manuelle ovne og automatiske prøveskiftere med integrerede ovne for øget prøvegennemstrømning.
Coulometric Karl Fischer titrator – FAQs
What is coulometric Karl Fischer titration?
Coulometric titration is used to determine trace-levels of water in samples within a range of 10 µg to 200 mg water. However, larger amount of water (> 10 mg) require a lot of time and/or may exceed the water capacity of the KF reagent, which could lead to incorrect results.
The coulometric method uses electric current to generate the iodine that is needed for the Karl Fischer reaction. Metrohm KF Coulometers apply variable current strengths and pulse lengths, which allows precise "iodine addition" even in the region of the endpoint.

Why is coulometric Karl Fischer titration used for water content determination?
Coulometric KF titration is a sensitive method suitable to determine low water contents between 0.001 and 1%. The coulometric method is an absolute method, meaning that there is no need for titer determination. In addition, a series of standards recommend coulometric Karl Fischer titration for water content determination:
| Standard | Name |
|---|---|
| ASTM D890 | Standard Test Method for Water in Liquid Pine Chemicals |
| ASTM D1123 | Standard Test Method for Water in Engine Coolant Concentrate by the KF Reagent Method |
| ASTM D1533 | Standard Test Method for Water in Insulating Liquids by Coulometric KF Titration |
| ASTM D3401 | Standard Test Methods for Water in Halogenated Organic Solvents and Their Mixtures |
| ASTM D4928 | Standard Test Method for Water in Crude Oils by Coulometric Karl Fischer Titration |
| ASTM D5460 | Standard Test Method for Rubber Compounding Materials - Water in Rubber Additives |
| ASTM D6304 | Standard Test Method for Determination of Water in Petroleum Products, Lubricating Oils, and Additives by Coulometric KF Titration |
| ASTM D7923 | Standard Test Method for Water in Ethanol and Hydrocarbon Blends by Karl Fischer Titration |

What is the difference between coulometric and volumetric titration?
The main difference between coulometric and volumetric Karl Fischer titration concerns titrant addition. In volumetric Karl Fischer titration, the titrant is added directly to the sample with a buret. Coulometric Karl Fischer titration features a generator electrode, which electrochemically generates the required iodine for the titration directly in the titration cell.
Metrohm offers titrator solutions that perform volumetric or coulometric titration on separate titrators as well as both volumetric and coulometric titration in a single instrument. Contact us to learn more.
What are the requirements for coulometric titration?
Requirements for coulometric titrations are the following:
- The process must take place with 100% current efficiency.
- No side reactions must occur.
- Oxidation or reduction must lead to a defined oxidation state.
Metrohm KF Coulometers meet these requirements with commercially available reagents.
