Determination of moisture in paraffin oil (mineral oil)
Thread Content
Dear experts, our company requires that the moisture content in the paraffin oil used be no more than 0.02%. Do you have any methods that can quickly determine whether the paraffin oil’s moisture content is below 0.02%? Since production takes place in the workshop, speed is the main requirement. At present, we have to send samples to the laboratory every time to use a moisture meter to determine the water content in paraffin oil. I am now looking for a test strip that can directly and quickly determine whether the water content is below 0.02%. I wonder if there is such a test strip that meets these requirements for measuring moisture
A moisture analyzer produced based on the Karl Fischer coulometric principle can determine the water content in just 2-3 minutes.
Or determine it using the GB-T 260 method for determining moisture content in petroleum products
With such a low water content, a moisture analyzer based on the Karl Fischer coulometric principle requires only 2-3 minutes to determine the water content.
I know that micro moisture meters based on the Karl Fischer coulometric method can be used, but such equipment is only suitable for use in laboratories and not for on-site analysis in production facilities?
I agree with what was said above; moisture meters that operate on the Karl Fischer coulometric principle are indeed not very suitable for analysis in workshops.
The test strips needed for on-site measurement are not available yet, but the Karl Fischer moisture analyzer in the laboratory can help resolve this issue quickly, hide
