The Metrohm Eco KF Titrator is used for routine water-content determination by volumetric Karl Fischer titration. It is intended for analytical and QC laboratories that need a compact and easy-to-use KF moisture testing system.
Volumetric KF is commonly used for routine moisture determination where the water content is not extremely low. Coulometric KF is generally considered where very low water content or trace moisture determination is required. CWTC should review the sample type, expected moisture level and method requirement before recommending the system.
Yes, Eco KF may be suitable for many food, pharmaceutical and chemical samples, provided the sample preparation and KF method are appropriate. Some solids, reactive materials or difficult matrices may require specific sample preparation, homogenization or a different KF configuration.
Not automatically. The final setup depends on the application, selected accessories, electrode, reagent handling, reporting requirement and consumables. CWTC will confirm the recommended scope of supply in the quotation.
Yes. Eco KF can be configured to comply with ISO, ASTM methods for various matrices such as Oils, Lubricants, Plastics, Food additives and ingredients and many more. Contact CWTC for more information.
Eco KF and Metrohm KF/Coulometer range covers ASTM/ISO methods comprehensively including:
ASTM E203 covers volumetric KF; ASTM D1364 covers volatile solvents; ASTM D4017 covers paints/materials; ASTM D4672 is the polyol method equivalent to ISO 14897; and ASTM D7923 includes a volumetric KF procedure.
For plastics/packaging, ISO 15512 explicitly includes both extraction followed by KF and heated-vapor transfer into a KF cell. ISO 760 is the general ISO Karl Fischer method, while ISO 4317 covers detergents/surfactants.
For pharma, USP <921> explicitly covers Water Determination and pharmaceutical testing by Karl Fischer, while Ph. Eur. 2.5.12 is the semi-micro Karl Fischer water determination chapter.
