General description

Potassium hydrogen phthalate, also known as KHP, is a volumetric standard manufactured under stringent conditions and measured with the highest possible precision. Its mass fraction is determined by potentiometric titration, and it is qualified in a DIN EN ISO/IEC 17025 accredited laboratory.

Please visit ISO certificates and Site Quality Self-Assessments to access the current certificates of accreditation.

In our effort to be more sustainable, we′re going digital with COAs-download them directly from our website. Download your certificate at http://www.sigma-aldrich.com to view certified values, including uncertainty and expiry date.

Application

It finds its use as a certified reference material (CRM) for the standardization of volumetric solutions in alkalimetric titrations, according to Ph. Eur. It is also used to prepare a standard solution in determination of COD.

Importance of Volumetric Solution Standardization

The titer determination or standardization of a titration solution is essential for accurate and reliable titration results. High quality solutions verified by high quality standards are the base for a reliable determinations.

Titration 4.0

SmartChemicals enable wireless transfer of CoA data stored on an RFID tag on the consumable bottle to the titrator, reducing effort and chance for human error. Crucial data required for the application is transmitted safely, reliably and intelligently to the instrument.
