INTRODUCTION

Water content needs to be determined at all stages of the manufacturing process
from raw materials to finished goods. The quality of the product depends on it. In
products such as kerosene, transformer insulation oil or brake oil, the presence of
unwanted moisture can have disastrous consequences.
In the pharmaceutical industry, it is essential to know the amount of water contained
in the ingredients of a drug in order to correctly predict its lifetime, stability and
effectiveness.
In the food industry, the water content of both raw materials and the finished foodstuff
needs to be carefully monitored.
The technique most commonly used for these analyses because of its rapidity,
accuracy and ease of use is Karl Fischer titration.
Thanks to their design and titration algorithm, Radiometer Analytical Karl Fischer
Titrators provide accurate results and clear sample information. Radiometer
Analytical makes it easy for the user to comply with Quality Control requirements
and follow Good Laboratory Practice.
The instrument is easy to program due to preset methods for titrations in the most
common samples. The last calibration results of titrants, blanks and samples are
stored. When used in conjunction with dedicated PC software, archiving of results
and methods is limited only by available storage space.
