9. Remove the standard and restore sample flow to the analyzer. The instrument is now
calibrated.
Note: Make sure sample chlorine concentration is relatively stable before taking a grab sample for
laboratory analysis. Perform the laboratory analysis as quickly as possible.
Calibration by comparison involves analyzing the sample stream with a reliable, accurate
laboratory method, such as a DPD spectrophotometric or amperometric titration method
then setting the analyzer to match. Accuracy specifications over the full 0 to 5 mg/L range
cannot be assured unless the sample chlorine concentration used for calibration is
greater than 3.0 mg/L. Setting the calibration at a lower concentration may provide
accuracy at that point but can cause large errors in other portions of the span.
Perform a calibration by comparison as follows:
1. When the sample chlorine concentration is relatively stable, obtain a grab sample for
analysis.
2. Perform a laboratory analysis (DPD spectophotometric or amperometric titration
method) on the grab sample and record the value.
