Outlet valve
Description
The Conductivity Monitor continuously reads the
conductivity of the liquid in the Conductivity flow
cell.
The conductivity is automatically calculated by mul-
tiplying the measured conductance by the cell con-
stant of the flow cell. The cell constant is
factory-calibrated.
The Conductivity flow cell is provided with a temper-
ature sensor that measures the temperature of the
liquid in the Conductivity flow cell.
Note:
The buffers used should be within the conductivity
range of the instrument (0 to 300 mS/cm).
A 3-port valve that is used to direct the flow to the
Fraction collector or to Waste.
