Abstract:
Analyzing the water content in petrochemicals like lubricants and hydraulic oils can be challenging due to high viscosity and interfering reactions. The Karl Fischer oven technique is an excellent solution. This auxiliary method uses a gas extraction process to accurately determine water content in difficult samples, an approach recognized by ASTM standard D6304. Attend this course to learn how to optimize this automated technique for reliable and accurate moisture analysis across all petrochemical samples.
