Where facilities are available, mixin
g can be achieved using “paint shakers” and/or an ultrasonic bath (for example, 5
minutes with a paint shaker, 30 seconds in an ultrasonic bath and a further 15 minutes with the paint shaker, as indicated
in ISO4402:1991[E]).
Care should be taken when using ultrasonic baths to avoid distortion of the result by extended use, causing contamination
breakdown.
Bottle samples can be sufficiently stirred by swirling and tumbling by hand.
Results
The first result from a bottle sample should be disregarded, as it could be distorted by fluid from a previous sample.
To reduce the effects of mixing variations and sedimentation, it is preferable to average the results of three tests.
Individual users may establish the possibility to reduce this number of tests, dependant upon their requirements and
experiences.
Samples from different parts of a system will give different results. Consideration should be given to what monitoring is
desired and where samples are to be extracted from for suitable trend monitoring to be performed.
It is important that whatever practices are adopted by the user, they are performed consistently.
Internal Compressor
Parker recommends that the icountBS is connected to the mains supply at all times and rear panel battery switch
switche
d to ‘on’.
For operation of the icountBS with the internal compressor requires the internal battery to be charged before use.
