What is a Karl Fischer Moisture Titrator?

A German chemist named ” Karl Fischer ” discovered this method for measuring water content, which has the highest reliability of the various methods.

As one type of titration device that utilizes the alternative reaction of iodine to water, this device titrates the Karl Fischer reagent (iodine) and finds the water content.
