Aquamax KF PRO OIL
Precise Water Analysis for Petroleum Products
Downloads
Product description
The Aquamax KF PRO Oil fully complies with ASTM D6304 – the Standard Test Method for Determination of Water in Petroleum Products, Lubricating Oils, and Additives by Coulometric Karl Fischer Titration.
Designed specifically for measuring trace levels of water in oils and fuels, the Aquamax KF PRO Oil eliminates the risk of interference from additives, sulphur, or mercaptans. Thanks to its unique closed-loop system, no additional carrier gas is required.
By directly injecting the sample into the oven, there is no need for a blank value – ensuring highly accurate and reliable results at trace levels.
Discover More About Your Oils with Temperature Ramping
The integrated temperature ramping program – a unique ECH feature – enables detailed analysis of different types of bonded water. This makes the Aquamax KF PRO Oil an ideal solution for R&D, refining, used oil analysis laboratories, and lubricant blending plants.
Even challenging crude oils can be accurately analyzed, distinguishing between free and bonded water.
Built with fully enclosed components, the Aquamax KF PRO Oil is robust and safe, designed to withstand the demanding conditions of the petroleum industry.
Thanks to the ECH technology, reagent life is significantly extended, maximizing reagent efficiency and reducing operating costs.
