Moisture measurement device (old type)
Mitsubishi Karl Fischer Moisture Measurement Device
There are four models for measuring low moisture content: the tabletop model CA200, the battery-operated portable model CA21, and for measuring high moisture content, the tabletop model KF200 and the entry-level moisture measurement device KF21. The tabletop models can perform simultaneous measurements on two channels, allowing for various combinations of electric quantity, capacitance, and vaporization methods. The vaporization devices range from the standard VA200 (up to a maximum of 300 degrees) to those designed for lubricating oils and high temperatures, and there is also an automatic vaporization device for 33 samples that measures automatically just by setting the sample.
basic information
In 1935, a German named Karl Fischer discovered that iodine selectively reacts with water among certain chemicals, and this reagent was named after its discoverer as Karl Fischer reagent. Using this reagent, it became possible to measure the absolute amount of moisture in various substances. Mitsubishi Chemical began research on this reagent in 1950 and was the first in Japan to sell Karl Fischer reagent. Subsequently, they developed and launched moisture measurement devices, becoming the only manufacturer in the world to sell both the devices and the reagent. Currently, the devices are sold not only domestically but also worldwide by a company called DAI Instruments.
