7. CALIBRATION
This chapter describes types of calibration enabled with TB830D. Periodical calibration and
an optimization of calibration parameters for Zero or Slope ensure accurate measurement.
The sensitivity correction can also correct the standard and grab sample sensitivity. Clean the
Flow cell before calibration. Perform calibration with the detectors or the Flow cells free from
contamination when the reading is stable.
7.1
Turbidity calculation and calibration menu
Zero, Slope are adjusted based on a standard solution as a reference. (Equation 7.1)
If the turbidity measured by the instrument may differ from the one measured manually in a lab
due to the difference of properties of the sample and/or of turbidity measurement methods, the
instrument can be adjusted so that it reads the same value as the one measured in a lab by
performing the zero shift correction or sensitivity correction.
In this case, the instrument determines zero and sensitivity correction factors in addition to the
calibration factor determined based on the calibration using standards. (See Equation 7.2.)
Normally T2 represents a turbidity, but when Zero calibration, Slope calibration (check tool,
standard solution), Auto Zero Calibration, Sensitivity correction calibration is being progressed,
T1 is used.
T1 = [100/SL/S
0
]*[V-A]
......
Equation 7.1
T2 = K*T1 + B
.....................
Equation 7.2
Where:
T1: Turbidity based on turbidity standards
S0: Sensitivity factor
Calculated reference sensitivity calibration. This calibration is performed at the factory
before shipment.
SL: Slope
Calibrated by slope calibration. SL(%) value means how different sensitivity is from
factory sensitivity.
A: Zero
Calculated in zero calibration using zero water.
V: Measuring signal
This signal is calculated by ratio of scattered light current and light source monitoring
current.
T2: Turbidity after zero and sensitivity corrections
K: Correction factor
Determined in sensitivity corrections or 2-point sensitivity corrections.
B: Zero shift value
Determined in zero shift corrections or 2-point sensitivity corrections.
