Karl Fischer Titrator | Aquamax KF Plus Titrator
Karl Fischer Titrator Description
The Aquamax KF Plus series is designed for accurate water content determination according to international standards (ASTM, API, BS, DIN, EI/IP, EN, IEC, ISO), combining the Karl Fischer method with precise coulometry.
Compact, robust, and user-friendly, the Aquamax KF Plus and Aquamax KF Portable titrators feature a tough measuring vessel, intuitive ‘press-go’ operation, and a built-in printer for immediate documentation.
Thanks to their small footprint and fully enclosed components, these instruments save valuable lab space and are easy to transport.
The integrated battery ensures flexible operation outside the lab — ideal for mobile labs, fieldwork, or unstable power environments.
