A galvanostat (also known as amperostat) is a control and measuring device capable of keeping the current through an electrolytic cell in coulometric titrations constant, disregarding changes in the load itself.
Its main feature is its nearly "infinite" (i.e. extremely high in respect to common loads) internal resistance.
