Customer Profile

The customer purchased the VicoMeter WKT-A3 moisture analyzer. Based on the coulometric Karl Fischer principle, the WKT-A3 'Vision' Karl Fischer trace moisture analyzer rapidly determines trace moisture in samples down to 1ppm, and can measure trace moisture in solids, liquids, and powders within 1 minute. The instrument features a built-in printer. Complying with multiple national and international moisture determination standards, the WKT-A3 includes eight built-in moisture calculation formulas and six determination methods to meet the needs of various industries. It is widely used in the chemical, petroleum, pharmaceutical, power, food, research, and testing industries.

VicoMeter at the Customer Site

After arriving at the customer's site, the VicoMeter technical engineer first contacted their procurement staff, who asked a laboratory colleague to lead the engineer into the lab, where installation began. After completing the installation, the engineer performed a pure-water verification, and all values were within the allowable error range. The customer was then asked to bring out their samples for testing; they presented some solids that are insoluble in methanol. The VicoMeter technical engineer contacted sales about this and also explained to the customer that the WKT-A3 cannot test solid samples that are insoluble in methanol. The engineer initially thought sales had recommended the wrong model, but later learned from sales that this was the model specified by the customer. The customer also contacted the teacher who had purchased the instrument — it turned out the instrument was bought not for testing solids but for testing methanol and some liquid samples. Different samples require different instruments, so care must be taken when selecting a model.
