Water Determination with Karl Fischer

In the analysis of water determination with Karl Fischer, the determination of the moisture content in the sample is carried out with a Karl Fischer titrator. In this analysis, the water content is determined by using a reagent that allows the water to turn into a non-conducting chemical. Karl Fischer water determination is a preferred method because it relies on a chemical reaction dependent on the presence of water, has a wide detection range, eliminates the need for a constant current flow, and precisely correlates the amount of iodine produced. It requires minimal sampling.
