Comparison of semiautomatic and fully automatic water titrators

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6508570
Semiautomatic titration of water using the Karl Fischer single solution conductometric method takes an average of 5 to 15 minutes per test. A new, fully automatic titrator is available that can complete titration at an average rate of three to ten minutes per test. The automatic method of titration is internally standardized (electrically) at all times, eliminating the two hour (average) standardization period required by the semiautomatic method. A digital readout register displays results in micrograms of water, disposing of manual calculations for one gram samples. Identical samples were tested by both the semiautomatic and the automatic methods, resulting in equally accurate calculations of water content.
