3.1 Install a titration cartridge
1. Select the correct titration cartridge to use. Refer to the table in the titration
procedure (method).
If the expected sample concentration is not known, start with one of the
smaller sample volumes and determine the approximate concentration. Then,
do the test again with the correct sample volume.
2. Install the titration cartridge. Refer to Figure 3.
Use a straight delivery tube for hand-held titrations. Use a 90° delivery tube
(4157800) for fixed-position titrations.
Only put the delivery tube into the cartridge nozzle. It may be necessary to
remove a small burr on the cartridge nozzle before the delivery tube can be
installed.
