In combination with a V30 or C30 Karl Fischer titrator the Stromboli sample changer enables up to 14 samples to be titrated in unattended operation. The samples are automatically transferred into a temperature controlled oven from where the evolved water is transferred to the titration cell via an applied gas flow.
- Controlled by the titrator: Stromboli does not have any operating elements and does not require special installation or configuration
- Displays the actual and the preset oven temperature in large blue illuminated numerals on the top of the instrument
- 20 ml sample vials are designed for quick and easy handling
Stromboli is ideal for accurate water determination of solid or viscous samples like:
- Substances that release water only at elevated temperatures such as plastics in powder or granular form
- Substances that cause side reactions with Karl Fischer reagent such as oxidizing inorganic salts
- Substances that cause problems in the titration vessel due to their consistency such as fibrous or pasty substances
- Substances that are poorly soluble or insoluble such as wool, dough, tar or coal
Application recommendations:
- The water content should be at least 500 µg per sample
- As purge gas air or nitrogen can be used. For samples that decompose with air at high temperatures, the use of nitrogen is recommended
Temperature range: 50 - 300 °C
Temperature accuracy: ±3 °C
