Cloud Point

The sample is cooled down according to the methods while the clouds appearance is observed on the silver bottom of the test jar by means of an optical sensor. The measurement is done by reflection on the silver bottom of the test jar via a fast light detector. The signal from light detector is traded by the LabLink software. The dynamic measurement is performed regardless of the sample’s colour.

Pour Point

According to the methods, the sample is cooled down at a specified rate and, at the prescribed temperature intervals, the mechanical arm of the analyser lifts the test jar from the cooling jacket and tilts it in order to bring it in horizontal position to test the flow of the product. The sample movement is detected by the thermal probes (PT100 detection) placed above the sample surface which react if touched by the cooled sample.

The Eco Coulometer with integrated magnetic stirrer and touch-sensitive display is ideal for water content determination in the 10 µg to 200 mg absolute water range. Predefined methods enable a smooth and easy instrument start-up. In addition to GLP-compliant printouts on paper or as PDFs, the Eco Coulometer also offers the option of being able to connect balances or send determination data to a PC via PC / LIMS reports. Indicator electrode and generator electrode without diaphragm are included in the scope of delivery. Coulometry is the ideal method for water content determination in the trace range in liquids, solids and gases. In addition, coulometry is an absolute method making titer determination unnecessary. When it comes to methods for water determination, Karl Fischer titration is the gold standard. Whether your matrix is chemicals, petrochemicals, plastics, or others – coulometric Karl Fischer titration is described by dozens of national and international norms and standards such as EN, ISO, ASTM, DIN, and others.

There are three main reasons, why this is so:

• Karl Fischer titration is a direct method and specific for water (low risk of matrix interferences)
• It is highly sensitive (detection limits in the micrograms range)
• It is fast (generally, less than 3 minutes per sample)

• Powerful DC motor for various stirring applications (direct-driven or worm-geared).
• The direct driven motor ensures high-speed at all recommended viscosities.
• Digital feedback controller.
• Steady and constant stirring speed.
• Chrome-plated stainless steel chuck to prevent corrosion.
• Anti-trembling system - the impeller is fixed at two points within the body and chuck.
• Adjustable impeller position (height).
• Motor overload and overheat protection for highest safety and long lifetime.
• Available as set with impeller, plate stand and clamp.
• Many different impellers and plate stands available.
