into the Mark 22. Also make sure that the

cell being used is clean and has no air

bubbles in it when the sample passes

through it.

5. pH readings are erratic and “noisy”

when pH sensor is installed in adaptor

plug.
ANSWER:

Check to see that the flow to

the chamber is very close to 50 ml/min.

Higher flow rates could create a stream-

ing affect that can cause pH values to fluc-

tuate. Carbon dioxide may also affect pH

readings. Make sure that the plug is prop-

erly grounded.
