Customer Profile

The customer purchased the VicoMeter WKT-C9 fully automatic Karl Fischer moisture analyzer, which uses the volumetric Karl Fischer principle to rapidly determine moisture down to 10 ppm, stores 200 data sets, and supports real-time query. A further upgrade of the Victor smart-series moisture analyzer, the C9 delivers a higher level of automation and precision. The WKT-C9 complies with multiple national and international moisture standards and with pharmacopoeia requirements and is widely used in chemicals, petroleum, pharmaceuticals, power, food, batteries, plastics, research, and testing.

WKT-C9 Karl Fischer Moisture Titrator Volumetric

The VicoMeter WKT-C9 fully automatic Karl Fischer moisture analyzer uses the volumetric Karl Fischer principle to rapidly determine moisture down to 10 ppm, measuring solids, liquids, and powders within 30 seconds. Its built-in RS232 port connects printers, balances, computers, and other peripherals, and it stores 200 data sets with real-time query. A further upgrade of the Victor smart-series moisture analyzer, the C9 delivers a higher level of automation and precision. It complies with multiple national and international moisture standards as well as pharmacopoeia requirements and is widely used in chemicals, petroleum, pharmaceuticals, power, food, batteries, plastics, research, and testing.

VicoMeter at the Customer Site

Because the customer's company has strict management, the VicoMeter technical engineer had to complete a series of forms and declarations before entering the customer's company. After arriving at the customer's site, the VicoMeter technical engineer first checked the instrument and accessories list, confirmed there were no problems with the instrument and the list, and then discussed the installation location with the customer.

The instrument was originally to be installed in the customer's balance room, since Karl Fischer work requires a balance and putting it elsewhere would inevitably hamper the workflow. However, the customer worried that the analyzer might affect the balance's metrology and finally decided on the pharmaceutical packaging laboratory instead. Installation went smoothly, but the demonstration hit a small snag: with no balance in the packaging lab, weighing had to be done in the balance room — each test required two weighings (tare and gross) only seconds apart, and we had to run between rooms for every weighing, seriously slowing the work. We therefore recommended adding a balance to the packaging laboratory.

When the WKT-C9 measures a sample, weigh it as quickly as possible: the longer the wait, the greater the environment's influence on the result. The volumetric WKT-C9 is relatively simple to operate but highly precise — only by controlling every step can you obtain the best possible result.
