Calibrating Inserts

An insert must be calibrated and its operation verified since it essentially becomes a different
size sample chamber. Appropriate calibration standards are included in the MultiVolume kits.
For example, if you have a 100-cm
you must calibrate the sample chamber with the 10-cm
1-, 10-, 3.5-, 35-, 650-, and 1300-cm
These inserts are calibrated in the same manner as the sample chamber itself.
1. Remove the sample chamber cap.
2. Place the insert and sample cup into the sample chamber; replace the chamber cap.
3. Calibrate the insert following the steps in Calibrating the Pycnometer in Chapter 2.
4. Verify operation following the steps in Verifying Operation in Chapter 2.
