OPERATION
The analyzer is always in “online” mode and disaplying current conductivity measurements.
6.1
CALIBRATION
A process calibration can be performed for both the specific and cation conductivity sensors of
the analyzer. The calibration will require the known specific and cation conductivity readings of
the measured sample in uS/cm from a secondary measurement device. These readings will be
used to calculate the new cell constant which can then be input into the analyzer. The formula for
calculating the new cell constant is as follows:
𝑘
𝑛𝑒𝑤
= 𝑘
𝑜𝑙𝑑
∗ (
𝜅
𝑛𝑒𝑤
𝜅
𝑜𝑙𝑑
)
where k
new
is the new cell constant that will be calculated, k
old
is the existing cell constant
programmed into the analyzer, κ
new
is the known conductivity reading from the secondary
measurement device, and κ
old
is the conductivity reading that the analyzer is currently displaying.
Action
Display
Determine the current
cell constant value of
the conductivity sensor.
Follow the instructions
in section 5.4.2 for the
calibration menu of the
user interface to acess
the calibration values
page.
The percentage listed
for Rel. cell const. 1
should be noted and will
be the value for
k
old
in
the equation.
Obtain the known
conductivity of the
measured sample (in
uS/cm).
This will be the value
for
κ
new
in the equation.
Use of a secondary conductivity measurement device is required.
