Method description:
Water from the sample is extracted into the gas phase and transported to the measuring cell to perform the titration, where iodine is generated by electrochemical oxidation.
Interpretation of results:
Water, next to mechanical impurities, is the second most destructive factor in oil. It causes oil degradation, activates corrosion and hydrogen wear processes, may cause cavitation, and as a result, significantly reduces the service life of lubricated components. The water content in oil should not exceed the limits specified for the oil type and its application (equipment type).
