Note
If an electrolyte with a significantly different viscosity than water is used or the
equipment is operated at sub-zero temperatures, you may have to adjust the flow
using the viscous electrolyte or at low temperature.
This function calibrates the pump of the polishing unit and ensures that the flow rate settings in the
Struers methods are correct.
• Examine the state of the electrolyte before you adjust the pump.
• Use this function to check the pump regularly.
• Use this function to calibrate the pump only if the correct results are no longer achieved.
