Berghof-Water Determination-Easy H2O

Chemical-free, selective water detection

The Berghof easyH2O delivers reproducible and exact results. It facilitates separate identification of free surface and capillary water as well as bonded water. Even strongly bonded water is released and quantified by means of temperature programs up to 400°. The results correspond to those of a Karl Fischer titration.

Key Features

• Selective detection of water: The Berghof easyH2O combines thermal evaporation of water with a selective, electrochemical water sensor to create an innovative method of water analysis.
• Coulometric P2O5 sensor: The core of the device is the coulometric P2O5 sensor. No special or toxic chemicals are required to operate the phosphorus pent oxide measuring cell. This makes the system environmentally friendly and reduces the operating and disposal costs. Operating personnel require no special training on how to handle toxic chemicals.
• Reliable results: The phosphorus pentoxide sensor is a standard method of detecting water in gases such as hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, argon and helium. This method was first described and standardized in 1987, in DIN 50450. The sensor principle is also applied to the determination of water in natural gas (ASTM D 5454 and ISO 11541:1997).
