create bubbles in the
measuring cell rendering the measurement results invalid. Degas the sample
properly before measurement by:
- boiling it for several minutes,
- stirring it vigorously for 5 to 15 minutes until bubbling ceases, or
- putting it into an ultrasonic bath for approximately 5 to 10 minutes until
bubbling ceases.
9.1 Checks Before the Measurement
Before you start a measurement, check that
- you have selected the proper measurement mode (see section 7.1),
- you have assigned the proper method (see section 7.2.2),
- you have assigned the proper sample ID, if needed (see section 7.5.2),
- the sample’s temperature is between 0°C and 100°C (32–212°F),
- suitable solvents for cleaning are at hand.
WARNING
Handling samples with temperatures of more than 70°C bears the risk of
heavy burns.
• Wear protective clothes or ensure alternative protection from
burns when you handle high temperature samples.
WARNING
SBS-3510 is not insulated against high voltages. Measuring samples
under high voltage (e.g. in energized battery banks) bears the risk of an
electric shock.
• Define appropriate testing procedures and safety measures to
protect yourself from any electric shock.
NOTICE
Before you perform a measurement, make sure that the wetted parts are
resistant to the sample (see appendix A.3).
