  • Page 21 Oxygen, Dissolved The following table lists the mg/L dissolved oxygen in water at saturation for various temperatures and atmospheric pressures. The table was formulated in a laboratory using pure water; thus, the values given should be considered as only approximations when estimating the oxygen content of a particular body of surface water.
  • Page 22: Accuracy And Precision

    ACCURACY AND PRECISION Accuracy is the nearness of a test result to the true value. Precision refers to the agreement of a set of replicate results or repeatability. Although good precision suggests good accuracy, precise results can be inaccurate. The following paragraphs describe techniques to improve accuracy and precision of analysis.
  • Page 23 A decision tree, such as the one in Figure 1, establishes a systematic method for identifying the problem. Request Hach Publication 7004 for additional information on standard additions.
  • Page 24 Branch A Suppose a single standard addition to the sample did not give the correct concentration increase. A possible cause could be interferences. Other causes could be defective reagents, an incorrect procedure, a defective instrument and apparatus or a defective standard used for standard additions.
  • Page 25 If the results of multiple standard additions gave the correct increments between additions, proceed to Branch C. If the results of multiple standard additions gave other than the correct increments between additions, proceed to Branch D. Branch C If interfering ions are present, the analysis may be incorrect. However, it may be possible, with multiple standard additions, to arrive at a close approximation of the correct result.
  • Page 26 Dirty pipets and graduated cylinders are sources of contamination and will not deliver the correct volumes. Hach's TenSette Pipet for dispensing Standards and standards sealed in Voluette Ampules are ideal for standard additions.
  • Page 27 graph as A and B show that the four data points do not lie on a straight line. Plot A illustrates an interference becoming progressively worse as the concentration of the standard increases. This type of interference is not common and may be caused by an error or malfunction of the procedure, reagents or instrument.
  • Page 28 The apparent interference in Example B could be the result of an error made in the standard addition. The analysis should be repeated. The two examples illustrate chemical interferences which most certainly mean the result of the first analysis of the water sample was incorrect. When this type of interference occurs, the analyst should attempt to analyze the sample with an alternate method which uses a different type of chemistry.

    ADAPTING PROCEDURES ADAPTING HACH PROCEDURES FOR USE WITH OTHER PHOTOMETERS Hach test procedures can be used with other instrumentation if calibration curves are established to convert test results from % transmittance or absorbance to the concentration of the constituent being measured.

    Interference Many of the procedures in this manual are pH dependent. Hach reagents contain built-in buffers to adjust the pH of the typical sample to the correct pH range. However, the reagent buffer capacity may not be sufficient for some unusual samples.
  • Page 36: Interference From Stray Light

    8. Analyze the sample as before. Interference From Stray Light Typical indoor lighting permits the DR/700 to operate with the cell compartment cover open. In bright sunlight, it may be necessary to close the cell compartment cover. If a 25-mL cell is used in the procedure, transfer 10 mL of the solution to a 10-mL cell.
  • Page 37 solution to pass through. This is especially helpful when sample turbidity interferes with calorimetric analysis. Two general methods of filtration are gravity and vacuum. Gravity filtration uses the force of gravity to pull the sample though the filter paper. Vacuum filtration uses the pressure difference created by either an aspirator or vacuum pump plus the force of gravity to move the sample through the filter.

    the test is performed. This is done by zeroing the instrument on deionized water and reagents. In most cases, the reagent blank is so small the instrument is zeroed on either an untreated portion of the original water sample or deionized water.
  • Page 41: Sample Cell Matching

    Refer to the MSDS for safety data essential for day-to-day operations and safety training. Sample Cell Matching The sample cells provided with the DR/700 Colorimeter are not optically perfect. Glass imperfections can introduce an error in the true absorbance or percent transmittance measurement. In turn, the true Absorbance or % T error can result in reduced accuracy.
  • Page 42: Sample Dilution Techniques

    accuracy and precision, sample cells should be matched prior to use. Refer to Matching Sample Cells in the instrument manual supplied with the colorimeter. Sample Dilution Techniques Ten and Twenty-five milliliter (mL) are the specified volumes for most colorimetric tests. However, in some tests, the color developed in the sample may be too intense to be measured.
  • Page 43 The concentration of the sample is equal to the diluted sample reading times the multiplication factor. An example: A 2.5 mL sample was diluted with 22.5 mL of deionized water. The result was 0.35 mg/L. What is the concentration of the sample? 0.35 x 10 = 3.5 mg/L More accurate dilutions can be done with a pipet and a 100-mL volumetric flask.
  • Page 44: Temperature Considerations

    Temperature Considerations For best results, most tests described in this manual should be performed with sample temperatures between 20 °C (68 °F) and 25 °C (77 °F). If certain tests require closer temperature control, that requirement will be indicated in notes following those procedures. Use of Pipets and Graduated Cylinders When small sample quantities are used, the accuracy of measurements is important.

  • Page 47: Use Of Reagent Powder Pillows

    Use of Reagent Powder Pillows Dry powdered reagents are used when possible to minimize problems of leakage and deterioration. Powders are packaged in individual, pre- measured, polyethylene "powder pillows." Each pillow contains enough reagent for one test and is opened easily with nail clippers or scissors; see Figure 10.
  • Page 48: Using The Tensette Pipet

    For best results, always use a new tip for each pipetting operation. After being used several times, the pipet tip may retain some liquid, causing an error in delivery, Each pipet is supplied with 100 tips. Order Hach replacements, for best results.
  • Page 49 3. Press down on the turret cap with the thumb, using a smooth motion, until the turret reaches the stop. Immerse the tip about 5 mm (¼") below the surface of the solution to avoid drawing air into the tip. Do not insert the tip any deeper, or the delivery volume may be affected.
  • Page 50 6. Use the thumb and forefinger to twist the turret cap to the next higher position on the volume-setting ring to assure full blowout and quantitative transfer of the sample. The "F" position provides full blowout for the 1.0-mL setting. 7.

    Mixing Water Samples The following two methods may be helpful in tests that require mixing sample with chemicals (usually indicated by "swirl to mix" instructions). 1. A swirling motion is recommended when mixing sample in a graduated cylinder or a titration flask. In this case, grip the cylinder (or flask) firmly with the tips of three fingers;...

If the aspirator fails during a digestion, immediately turn the heater off. Do not breathe any fumes that may be expelled from the manifold. After the flask has cooled and the fumes subsided, clean or replace the aspirator.
