We all know that surface tension affects our daily lives thru everyday applications like the ink you use in a pen, detergents for washing clothes, soap to clean your hands, paint for the house, just …
We have found that a number of Aquapal III users have been operating the Karl Fisher titrator without the seals that go with the caps on the vessel. If the seals are not used excessive …
Simply put, drift is background moisture that the Karl Fisher titrator is detecting. What is background moisture? Well, it is moisture that the Karl Fisher titrator (specifically the detector electrode) is detecting inside the vessel …
The US military has been using the WBGT to determine appropriate activity levels in hot weather conditions for decades. The system, which uses different color flags to indicate the conditions, was developed by the Marines …
On July 5th, a new workplace rule designed to protect workers from outdoor heat exposure will take effect in Washington State. This rule was passed on June 4 after six public hearings were conducted on …
Many people using the CSC Scientific Interfacial Tensiometer have no problem getting started with using the instrument. However, sometimes there is nothing better than watching a video to see first-hand how to use the CSC …
This is a popular question for most operators using a coulometric Karl Fischer titrator. Firstly, you have the chemical limitations of the reagents themselves. Secondly, you have the user/operator variable. Sometimes changing the reagent has more to …
Electrode Maintenance Procedures for Automatic titrators (Potentiometric)
Potentiometric titration is a method to detect potential difference between an indicator electrode and a reference electrode. The automatic titrator will determine the concentration of a chemical component that …
Although the CSC Scientific Interfacial Tensiometer is fundamentally very straight forward, it is helpful to have a basic understanding of the operational features and components of the tensiometer. There are dials, clamps, Du Nouy Rings, …
