The second product to be introduced was the KAM KF Karl Fischer Moisture Analyzer, a Karl Fisher Titrator for hydrocarbons.[9]

KAM FAME Meter
In May 2010, Kam Controls announced that it had successfully tested the Kam FAME meter, an instrument to measure the FAME amount in jetfuel. [11] This development was necessitated due to Directive 2003/30/EC implemented in EU member states which mandates addition of 5% FAME in automotive diesel [12] . However, the international specification for FAME in jetfuel is 5ppm or less, with 30ppm for restricted usage.[13] Due to the presence of multi fuel transport and distribution facilities, this raised concerns in the aviation industry including aircraft engine manufacturers.
