Summary
In principle, the gas extraction or oven technique can be applied to all types of samples that release their water when heated. However, the oven technique is essential whenever direct volumetric or coulometric Karl Fischer titration is impossible because the sample contains interfering components or, due to its consistency, is difficult to place in the titration vessel.

This Application Bulletin describes the automated determination of the water content using the oven technique and coulometric KF titration. Examples stem from food, pharmaceutical, plastics, and petrochemical industry.
