756/831 KF Coulometer, Instructions for Use

104

Problem

Possible causes and remedies

Result too low

•

Drift correction too large, i.e. the drift was too high at the

start or unstable drift.

•

Stop drift too high.

•

Min.rate too low

•

Sample releases iodine.

Results widely scattered

•

Inhomogeneous sample? Poor reproducibility of sample

addition?

•

Drift unstable.

Titration times too long

•

Wait until drift during conditioning becomes stable.

•

Amount of water too large, see sample size guidelines on

page 10.

•

Set stop drift higher.

•

Set control range smaller, set max.rate higher.
