    TAG IDENTIFICATION SYSTEM TAG IDENTIFICATION SYSTEM TAG IDENTIFICATION SYSTEM TAG IDENTIFICATION SYSTEM TAG IDENTIFICATION SYSTEM Hanna is the first manufacturer of turbidity instruments that has decided to add the unique T.I.S. - Tag Identification System to our Portable Turbidimeters, to meet the more restrictive needs of the users and fit all advantages of this system to the turbidity measurements and data manage- ment.

  • Page 6: Principle Of Operation

    PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION Turbidity of the water is an optical property that causes light to be scattered and absorbed, rather than transmitted. The scattering of the light that passes through a liquid is primarily caused by the suspended solids.

  • Page 12: General Tips For An Accurate Measurement

    GENERAL TIPS FOR AN ACCURATE MEASUREMENT GENERAL TIPS FOR AN ACCURATE MEASUREMENT GENERAL TIPS FOR AN ACCURATE MEASUREMENT GENERAL TIPS FOR AN ACCURATE MEASUREMENT GENERAL TIPS FOR AN ACCURATE MEASUREMENT HI 98713 is a highly accurate turbidimeter. To meet the instrument performance and fully benefit of its properties it is very important that the analyst perform accurate, precise and repeatable readings using proper measurement techniques.
  • Page 13 CUVET OILING To hide minor imperfections and scratches, the cuvets should be oiled outside with the supplied silicone oil. This is very important, especially for low turbidity samples (< 1 FTU), otherwise scratches can contribute and alter turbidity readings. The silicone oil has the same refractive index as the glass and will not alter the turbidity readings. It is important to apply only a thin layer of silicone oil.
  • Page 14 In order to index a cuvet follow the next steps: • Fill the cuvet with high quality water (<0.1 FTU) up to the line. • Clean and oil the cuvet as described before. • Turn the instrument ON. • Insert the cuvet into the instrument and press READ .
  • Page 15 MATCHING MULTIPLE CUVETS Precise measurements require the use of a single cuvet. If it is not possible, the cuvet selection and matching must be performed before taking measurements. In order to match multiple cuvets follow the next steps: • Fill some cuvets with high quality water (<0.1 FTU) up to the line.
  • Page 16 • Open the instrument lid, slightly rotate the cuvet and take a new reading. • Repeat the last step for the second cuvet until the reading is within 0.01 FTU of the value obtained for the first cuvet. • Alternatively, keep READ pressed and, after the first value is displayed, open the lid and start rotating the cuvet until the displayed value matches the first cuvet.
  • Page 17 APPLICATION OF VACUUM Vacuum works by decreasing the atmospheric pressure. In this way the bubbles from the solution came out to the surface. Application of vacuum is a very simple procedure and can be applied with any vacuum source at hand. The simplest equipment at hand is a syringe and a rubber stopper for vacuum degassing.
  • Page 18 HEATING THE SAMPLE Use of heat to remove air bubbles, although very effective in some cases, should be handled with care because it can alter the turbidity of the sample. When heating a sample, the volatile components from the sample can vaporize, the suspended components can dissolve or the sample characteristics can change.

  • Page 19: Measurement Procedure

    MEASUREMENT PROCEDURE MEASUREMENT PROCEDURE MEASUREMENT PROCEDURE MEASUREMENT PROCEDURE MEASUREMENT PROCEDURE When taking any turbidity measurements several basic rules should be followed: • Use always cuvets without scratches or cracks because they can cause inaccurate readings. • Cap always the cuvets to avoid spillage of the sample into the instrument. •...
  • Page 20 NORMAL MEASUREMENT This type of measurement can be used for regular measurements, when the sample is stable and normal accuracy is required. In normal measurement mode, the led is ON for a minimum period of time (about 7 seconds), saving the battery life. Normal measurement takes about 10 seconds. If normal measurement is selected, the “AVG”...
  • Page 21 • Press READ to start the average reading mode. The display will show blinking dashes and the icons for cuvet, detectors and LED will appear during measurement. When a new partial value is displayed, the cuvet icon and the measurement unit will blink shortly.

  • Page 22: Calibration Procedure

    CALIBRATION PROCEDURE CALIBRATION PROCEDURE CALIBRATION PROCEDURE CALIBRATION PROCEDURE CALIBRATION PROCEDURE HI 98713 has a powerful calibration function that compensates for LED aging or changing. The calibration can be done using the suplied calibration solutions or user prepared standards. HI 98713 turbidimeter is supplied with 4 AMCO standards: <0.1 FTU, 15 FTU, 100 FTU and 750 FTU.
  • Page 23 TWO-POINT CALIBRATION • Turn the instrument on by pressing ON/OFF. When the LCD displays dashes, the instrument is ready. • Enter calibration mode by pressing CAL. The display will show “CAL P.1” and no suggested value. This first point is used to check the optical system.
  • Page 24 • At the end of the measurement, the third calibration point (100 FTU) is displayed on the primary LCD, “CAL P.3” on the secondary LCD, and “READ” tag will blink. • At this moment it is possible to exit calibration by pressing CAL.
  • Page 25 • Close the lid and press READ . The display will show blinking dashes and the icons for cuvet, detectors and LED will appear during measurement. • At the end of the measurement, the four-point calibration is completed and the instrument returns automatically to measurement mode.
