One Click Titration™
Better Base Numbers in the Oil Industry –
Provided by Fast Conductometric Titration
The measurement of lubricant acid or base number by titration is, although in theory
straightforward, a challenging task. An improvement in speed as well as in consistency
and repeatability of the results can be achieved if the determination is carried out by conductometric titration according to the IP400 standard. Experience how to benefit from the
advantages of this standard determination with the new METTLER TOLEDO T70 Titration
Excellence titrator.
Challenges in potentiometric
titrations
Monitoring of the titrant and electrode condition and verification prior to
analysis start, dedicated methods with
optimized parameters and last but not
least the easy operation are some of the
striking features of the new METTLER
TOLEDO Titration Excellence titrator T70
which help you to achieve reliable results
in acid or base number determinations
according to the IP177/276 (ASTM D664/D-2896) standards. However these
analyses are time-consuming due to the
essential extended conditioning of the potentiometric electrodes and the quality of
the results strongly depend on the correct
system preparation (titer, blank and buffer values).
determinations with fast signal equilibration and without time-consuming conditioning steps of the electrode during the
individual analyses. Furthermore, the
lifetime of the conductometric sensor is
considerably higher than of the potentiometric sensor.
Powerful system solution
The base number titration according to
IP400 with the METTLER TOLEDO T70
Titration Excellence titrator/InLab® 718
system provides a simple and cost-effective alternative to the IP177/276 (ASTM
D-664/D-2896) standards. Titrations are
faster, maintenance is simpler and results
are equally as accurate. The METTLER
TOLEDO Titration Excellence T70 titrator
and the complete automation with the aid
of the Rondo 60 sample changer is a powerful combination which greatly improves
your efficiency in daily work

Advantages of conductometric
titrations
A true alternative is the conductometric
titration according to the IP 400 standard. The combination of the InLab®
718 conductivity probe and the conductivity option of the METTLER TOLEDO
Titration Excellence T70 titrator provides
a unique solution for full compliance with
this standard. Conductometric titration
allows to achieve precise and accurate
results in base and also in acid number
