Model Overview
Fully customizable, these titrators deliver accurate results and intuitive user experience, all in a compact package.
HI933 Karl Fischer Volumetric Titrator for Moisture Determination
The HI933 is an automatic volumetric Karl Fischer titrator with high accuracy, great flexibility and repeatability.
The titrator is designed to perform titrations for a variety of sample types/matrices, allowing the user to obtain both good results and high-speed analysis. The HI933 analyzes for water content ranging from 100 ppm to 100%. This powerful titrator automatically dispenses the titrant, detects the endpoint, and performs all necessary calculations and graphing.
HI933 Burette and Dosing System
Precision dosing pump
Our unmatched 40,000 step piston driven pump is capable of delivering as little as 0.125 μL of titrant accurately and precisely.
Anti-diffusion dispensing tip
A specially designed glass dispensing tip delivers titrant precisely into high turbulence mixing zones, ensuring a rapid reaction. Its angular construction helps prevent titrant from diffusing into the sample solvent.
Chemically resistant tubing and syringe
Aspiration and dispensing tubes are constructed of durable, chemically resistant PTFE and feature a light-blocking polyurethane outer sleeve to protect light sensitive reagents.
Clip Lock™ exchangeable burette system
With Hanna’s Clip-Lock™ burette feature, it only takes a few seconds to exchange titrants and reagents preventing cross-contamination and saving time.
HI933 Titration and Solvent System
Efficient sample handling
The HI933 features a quick-remove sample port with a replaceable rubber septum allowing for fast and easy sample introduction to the titration vessel. An integrated magnetic stirrer ensures homogeneity for an accurate and speedy reaction.
Chemically resistant titration vessel
The glass and PTFE titration cell and fittings are designed to withstand the harsh solvents and reagents involved in Karl Fischer reactions.
Sealed solvent system
The titration vessel is completely sealed to minimize exposure to ambient humidity, keep the system dry, and reduce titrant consumption while saving time between titrations. Solvent may be exchanged in a matter of seconds without opening the titration vessel.
Visually recognizable desiccant
A rechargeable, color-indicating, silica gel desiccant prevents the ingress of ambient humidity into the sealed system while maintaining full titrator functionality. The desiccant color change allows a user to recognize when its adsorption capacity has depleted and is ready for replacement or recharging.
HI933 Titration Capabilites
Dynamic titrant dosing
The dynamic dosing feature allows for timely and accurate titration results by relating the titrant volume dosed to the mV response from the titration reaction. This provides for larger doses near the beginning of a titration and smaller, more precise doses near the titration endpoint.
Drift rate compensation
The HI933 automatically adjusts the titration calculation to account for the effects of any ambient humidity entering the titration cell. This provides a more accurate result by correcting for water not present in the actual sample.
Titration results averaging
Successive results from a titration method may be averaged with a recording of the standard deviation.
Titrant recordkeeping
The HI933’s titrant database can store information for up to 20 titrants. The database may be programmed to remind a user when to standardize their titrant, reducing error in analysis.
Selectable endpoint criteria
The HI933 employs a dual platinum-pin electrode for bivoltammetric endpoint determination. Users may choose termination criteria based on mV stability times or drift rates.
Multistage cell preparation
A pre-titration stage eliminates residual water present in the solvent and the cell, providing a reliable baseline start to analysis. Standby mode then keeps the solvent dry between titrations and when the titrator is not in use.
HI934 Karl Fischer Coulometric Titrator
The HI934 is a Karl Fischer coulometric titrator with high accuracy, great flexibility and repeatability.
The titrator is designed to perform titrations for a variety of applications, allowing the user to obtain both good results and high-speed analysis. The HI934 analyzes for water content ranging from 1 ppm to 5%. This powerful titrator effectively monitors the KF reaction, detects the endpoint, and performs all necessary calculations and graphing.
HI934 Coulometric Reagent System
Precision iodine generation
Hanna’s dosing algorithm allows for an extremely small amount of iodine necessary for the Karl Fischer reaction to be generated electrolytically using a pulsed current up to 400 mA delivering titrant accurately and precisely.
HI934 Titration and Solvent System
Chemically resistant titration vessel and tubing
The glass titration cell and PTFE tubing is designed to withstand the harsh solvents and reagents involved in Karl Fischer reactions.
Sealed solvent system
Ground glass joints completely seal the glass titration cell minimizing exposure to ambient humidity, keeping the system dry, and reducing reagent consumption while saving time between titrations. Solvent may be exchanged in a matter of seconds with a quick fitting adjustment.
Molecular sieve desiccant
High efficiency molecular sieve desiccant helps maintain low and stable drift rates within the titration cell while preventing the ingress of ambient humidity into the sealed solvent system.
Digital built-in stirrer
Automatic, integrated magnetic stirrer adjustable from 200-2000 RPM with optical feedback for automatic speed control.
HI934 Titrator Capabilities
