Karl Fischer Titrator HSC-KFT – Coulometric or Volumetric Moisture Analysis
Price on Request
Karl Fischer titrator for water content: coulometric (10 µg – 5%) or volumetric (0.01 – 100%) by model, ±0.1% of reading, double platinum electrode, automatic dosing and end-point detection, titration curve on screen, over-titration protection, USB / PC export optional. For pharma, chemical, food and petroleum labs. 1-year warranty.
The HSCo Karl Fischer titrator measures the water content of liquids, solids and viscous samples, from trace moisture to pure water. Depending on the model it works by coulometric titration (10 µg to 5% water) or volumetric titration (0.01% to 100%). It detects the end point with a double platinum electrode, doses the reagent automatically, and shows the result, the titration curve and the end point on its display. It is used in pharmaceutical, chemical, food and petroleum laboratories.
Why labs choose it
- Coulometric or volumetric models for trace or high water content.
- Accurate: ±0.1% of reading or better, repeatability ±0.05%.
- Automatic: reagent dosing and end-point detection.
- Clear results: moisture, titration curve and end point on screen.
- Safe: over-titration protection, reagent-level alarm, leak-proof cell.
- Data export by PC interface or USB (optional).

Karl Fischer or halogen moisture analyser?
Can an MA110 replace Karl Fischer for trace water in powders that absorb moisture from the air?
No, for trace water HSCo points you to the HSC-KFT coulometric model, whose range starts at 10 µg and goes up to 5% water. Its pharma-lab page names the HSC-KFT for water content in active drug ingredients and other formulation ingredients; the MA110 measures weight lost during drying.
Which instrument should I consider for liquids, solvents or oils?
The HSC-KFT is HSCo’s water-content option for liquids, solvents and oils, with coulometric measurement from 10 µg to 5% or volumetric measurement from 0.01% to 100%, depending on model and sample size. It also accepts solids and viscous samples.
When would I choose an MA110 for solids, powders or granules?
The MA110.1 provides drying-and-weighing moisture checks for solids, powders and granules, with 110 g capacity and 1 mg readability. The MA110.5E offers 110 g capacity with 5 mg readability; compare both on HSCo’s moisture analyser page.
