If your operating a dual-reagent Karl Fisher Titrator and your getting lower than expected moisture results you may want to check a few things.
First, make sure your analytical balance or specific gravity calculation is not …
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 …
On a regular basis I’m asked the question; “How accurate is this moisture balance?”
The questioner asks for the answer in terms of percent moisture. When I answer “ it depends”, I always get the unspoken response. “Why did I ask this stupid idiot?”
The detailed answer is complicated because the questioners want to know accuracy in terms of a percentage (%). This is a relative rather than an absolute measurement term. In the case of a Loss on Drying (LOD) moisture instrument it depends on the size of the sample.
We get this question a lot. How do you test for moisture if the sample is in either liquid or solid form?
Well basically, moisture testing using the karl fischer method is a standard in the …
When people test for moisture content they generally refer to their results in either %, decimal point, or PPM. It can get kind of confusing to say the least. However, it’s really not that complicated …
