Aquamax KF Plus

Karl-Fischer-Titrators


Product description

Water determination according to standards of ASTM, API, BS, DIN, EI/IP, EN, IEC, ISO, Ph. Eur.

Aquamax KF Plus titrators have been specifically designed for the determination of water content, combining coulometry with the Karl Fischer method. The versatile Aquamax KF Plus is suitable for a wide range of applications and offers many advantages including a tough measuring vessel, a ‘press go’ keypad and built-in printer.


Small footprint - enclosed parts

The Aquamax KF Plus and Aquamax KF Portable are both small footprint instruments with all parts enclosed, designed to save lab space and allow for easy transportation from the lab to the sampling point. The instruments built in battery allows for use outside of the laboratory, the back of the truck or mobile lab, or in areas where electrical mains stability is not available.

 

Easy to use – simple to programme so that only a single button needs to be pressed for a titration, everything else is automatic.

Where do you need an Aquamax KF

From raw materials to finished products, to preventive maintenance programs, you will find Aquamax KF in the labs, the back of mobile rigs and even on-line as part of an industrial process. If you are testing any of the following processes and samples you may need an Aquamax KF instrument to test you water content!

  • Exploration and production of crude oil and natural gases
  • Refining of petroleum products like bitumen, fuel oil, lubricating oils, waxes, polishes, diesel fuel, jet fuel, paraffin, petrochemicals, gasoline and bottled gas (LPG)
  • Pipeline and transportation of oils, fuels and petrochemicals
  • Biofuels
  • Liquid plastic and polymer components
  • Pharmaceutical products
  • Extracts like cannabis oil and vaping fluids

Water check

The µg check button allows the operator to simply press go, inject 1 µL or maybe 10 µL of distilled water (as required by some ASTM methods) and verify if the instrument and reagent are working with in their required specification. The µg check overrides the programmed calculation and displays/prints out a report of the verification check. The coulometer then automatically reverts to the pre-programmed setting.

 

Tough measuring vessel

The unique LDC glassware design is by far the easiest to use and the most robust. The electrode locking system allows the joints to seal completely, without the use of grease or PTFE sleeves, and provides improved baseline stability. Hassle free assembly and disassembly.
