SAMPLE DILUTION TECHNIQUES
If a test result is out of the range of the meter, it must be diluted. The test
should then be repeated on the diluted sample. The following table gives quick
reference guidelines for dilutions of various proportions.

All dilutions are based on a final volume of 10 mL, so several dilutions will
require small volumes of the water sample. Graduated pipets should be used for
all dilutions. If volumetric glassware is not available, dilutions can be made with
the colorimeter tube. Fill the tube to the 10 mL line with the sample and then
transfer it to another container. Add 10 mL volumes of deionized water to the
container and mix. Transfer 10 mL of the diluted sample to the colorimeter tube
and follow the test procedure. Repeat the dilution and testing procedures until
the result falls within the range of the calibration. Multiply the test result by the
dilution factor. For example, if 10 mL of the sample water is diluted with three
10 mL volumes of deionized water, the dilution factor is four. The test result of
the diluted sample should be multiplied by four.
