HM401 Karl Fischer Titrator Setting Introduction Video
Product Overview & Applications
The HM401 Transformer Oil Trace Moisture Tester employs the Karl Fischer titration method. Utilizing advanced control circuits and a 32-bit embedded microcontroller processor as its core control unit, combined with an embedded micro-operating system, it delivers a more reliable and user-friendly operating experience. Functioning as a "moisture monitor" for transformer insulation systems, this instrument features rapid analysis, simple operation, high precision, and a high degree of automation.
Application Areas
1. Power Industry: Oil analysis laboratories or maintenance departments within power generation, transmission, and distribution companies. Monitoring trace moisture in transformer oil during operation is the most critical routine task for preventing insulation failures.
2. Transformer Manufacturing: Factory acceptance testing and quality control (QC) processes at transformer production facilities. Rigorous moisture content testing of newly manufactured transformers and their insulating oil is a key criterion for product certification.
3. Large Industrial and Mining Enterprises:Equipment maintenance departments of enterprises with dedicated substations, such as steel mills, chemical plants, and data centers. Ensuring the insulation reliability of critical transformers supplying production lines prevents unexpected shutdowns caused by insulation failures.
4. Research and Third-Party Testing: Universities, research institutions, and quality supervision and inspection agencies.
Primarily for insulation material aging research, evaluation of new oil product performance, or conducting authoritative third-party quality certification.
Features & Advantages
1.Utilizing 32 bit embedded microcontroller processor as the master control core and embedded mini operating system.
2.Be stable and reliable because of constant pressure detection, high precision and rapid measuring speed.
3.Simple operation and convenient digital calculation due to color touch screen and full digital keyboard.
4.Four calculation formulas are included, which can meet the different requirement of customer.
5.Miniature thermal printer with time record make searching more convenient.
6.New profile is designed according to the ergonomics.

Working Principle
The equation of Karl Fischer reagent and water is as following:
I2 + SO2 + 3C5 H5 N + H2O -→ 2C5 H5 N•HI + C5 H5 N•SO3 ……………… (1)
C5 H5 N•SO3 + CH3OH -→ C5 H5 N•HSO4CH3 …………… (2)
All the reagent solution used is mixed by dominant iodine and pyridine & methanol that filled with sulfur dioxide. The iodine is formed in anode through electrolysis, which is proportional to the quantity of electric charge as per Faraday's law and can be shown as the below formula.
2I¯+ 2e -→ I2 …………………………………………………(3)
From formula (1), the mole number of iodine participated in reaction is same as that of water. The moisture will take part in reaction immediately after the sample was injected into electrolyte solution, the consumption of iodine during reaction can be reflected by this instrument, moreover, consumption of iodine can be calculated according to the using quantity of electricity and the moisture amount will be shown in the LCD screen directly. Electrolytic current automatic control system is adopted in this instrument and the size of electrolytic current can be automatically controlled as per the quantity of moisture in sample, which can reach at 400mA.
During the process of electrolytic, the moisture will be decreased gradually and the electrolytic rate will be also reduced according to the proportion until the control circuit is open at the end of electrolytic. This system enables to guarantee the high precision, sensitive valve and speed in the process of analysis.
Additionally, some interference factors have to be introduced in the measurement, for instance, the moisture intruded from air make the electrolytic tank absorb moisture and occur blank current. However, the displayed number shown on screen is the real moisture content of sample since the blank current can be stored in this instrument.

Maintenance & FAQs
Q: What moisture content is considered acceptable?
A:
< 15 ppm: Excellent for new oil or transformer oil in operation.
15 - 30 ppm: Requires attention; intensify monitoring.
> 30 ppm: Oil has absorbed moisture and requires immediate treatment (e.g., vacuum filtration).
