Hanna Instruments HI931 - Troubleshooting Dosing Accuracy (Small Dose)

23
TROUBLESHOOTING 1
DESCRIPTION
Method for verifying the dosing of the titrator. This method should be
used to troubleshoot a titrator equipped with a 25 mL burette. The
titrator dispenses a 10.00 mL pre-titration volume, waits 20 seconds
and dispenses an additional 0.5 mL dose twenty times, waiting 20
seconds between each dose, bringing the total volume to 20 mL.
This procedure can also be used to check the stirrer functionality.
The specifications of the dosing accuracy are ± 0.1% of the full
burette volume (± 0.025 mL for a 25 mL burette). For the accuracy
of other burette volumes, see the instruction manual.
If the results are not correct, check all fittings for leakage, and
burette and tubing for air bubbles. Repeat the measurement.

ACCESSORIES
• HI762000C 0°C Temperature Key
• HI70436 Deionized Water (1 gal)
• HI7662-T Temperature Probe
• Shorting Cap
• Narrow Neck Beaker
• Analytical Balance with a resolution of 0.0001g
DEVICE PREPARATION
• Connect the shorting cap to the BNC socket on Analog Board 1
• Install a 25 mL burette filled with room temperature deionized
water (HI70436) on pump one and verify that no air bubbles
are present in the burette or tubing. If necessary prime the
burette until all the air has been removed completely.
• Press from the main screen. Use the arrow keys to
highlight HI1012EN Troubleshooting 2 and press .
SMALL DOSE DISPENSING PROCEDURE
• Add a small amount of deionized water to a narrow neck beaker.
By doing this the air space in the beaker will be vapor-saturated
minimizing evaporation.
• Place the narrow neck beaker on an analytical balance.
• Zero the balance.
• Place the dosing tip through the neck of the beaker. Take care
not to immerse it in the liquid during dispensing and not to
touch the beaker walls.
• Press .
• Write down the exact weight displaced on the balance after
each dose.
• The following information is needed to verify the accuracy of the
dosing system:
• The temperature of the dispensed water
• The atmospheric air pressure
• The density of the weight used to calibrate the balance
• This procedure can be repeated on pump 2.
Other burette sizes can be checked using the following settings:
