KF Application Note No.

K- 26
Title: Water in used lubricating oil

Summary: The water content of used lubricating oil is determined according to


Karl Fischer by coulometric titration. To prevent unwanted side reac-
tions special KF reagents are used.

Sample: Used lubricating oil

Sample
Preparation: none

Instruments and
Accessories: 737 KF Coulometer, cell with diaphragm; 728 Magnetic Stirrer,
printer

Analysis: Start the 737 KF Coulometer to condition the reagent in the meas-
uring cell. When the drift is steady and below 10 ug/min inject ca. 0.4
g sample using a syringe. Exchange the reagent in the cathode
compartment as soon as ist colour changes from brown to yellow.

Reagents:
Hydranal Coulomat CK and Hydranal Coulomat AK (Riedel-de
Haën)

Results: AVG(9) = 631 +/- 23 ppm water

Settings: 737 KF Coulometer
