Example: Transformer oil sample by V/SG
Program the Aquamax KF
Portable
with parameters for the analysis. For Transformer Oil samples, these
parameters are usually:-
Result Format
= mg/kg or ppm
Calculation Mode
= V/SG
Sample Volume
= 1.0 ml
Sample SG
= 0.875
Other parameters such as Sample ID number, Printer Mode etc are optional.
ANALYSIS METHOD

Confirm that Aquamax KF
Portable
is in “Ready” mode
2.
