Volumetric vs coulometric
| Parameter | Volumetric | Coulometric |
|---|---|---|
| Water range | ~0.1% – 100% | ~1 ppm – 5% |
| Best for | medium/high water | trace water |
| Typical samples | food, chemicals, liquids | solvents, oils, dry raw materials |
| Sample introduction | direct / dissolution | direct / oven |
Method essentials
KF uses a double-platinum polarized electrode for endpoint detection. Difficult samples use the oven method; accuracy is confirmed against a water standard and by proper titer determination. Interfering matrices (ketones, aldehydes) require reagent selection.
