Installation Checkout
Your instrument has been tested thoroughly before shipment. To detect any
problems caused by shipping and handling, Distek recommends a careful check of
all crucial operating parameters after complete installation of the dissolution
system.
RPM Control
Check and record RPM display accuracy at 50, 100, 150 and 250 RPM using a
calibrated tachometer such as Distek RPMChek.
Test Duration
Check and record timing accuracy at test RPM using a calibrated stopwatch. Test
should be run over a range of expected usage. For example, if test durations and
sample times range from 15 minutes to 12 hours, testing should measure intervals
of 10 minutes, 1 hour, and 24 hours.
