If any items are missing or damaged, please contact the Customer Service Department, Hach Company, Loveland, Colorado (the toll-free number is 800-227-4224). For customers outside the U.S.A., contact the Hach office or authorized distributor serving you. Please do not return the instrument without prior authorization from Hach.
2. Insert the capillary funnel adapter into the largest opening of the vent trap body. Note: The Hach Fume Scrubber Apparatus can be used in place of the aspirator. Fumes are drawn into a chemical absorber module and absorbed by an activated carbon filter.
客服:400 688 9809 2.3 Selecting a Temperature Setting The particular temperature applicable for the sample to be digested is Note: During a digestion, the given in the appropriate analysis procedure manual. The steps below temperature explain how to set the heater temperature. reading will vary slightly above and 1.
• Oils and organic liquids should be considered as solids when determining sample size. • Acid type -- Only use acid specified in Hach step-by-step procedures. • Acid volume -- Never use less than 3 mL. • Always follow the order of steps indicated.
Digesdahl digestion applications: • Do not mix hydrogen peroxide with any chemical reagents except as specified in the Hach instructions. • Do not add hydrogen peroxide directly to the column on the digestion flask. Always add hydrogen peroxide in a slow and controlled manner;...
Page 22
• Do store in the original containers with closures as supplied and keep closed when not in use. (Be sure the containers are vented. Hach hydrogen peroxide bottles are shipped with a special vented cap liner.) • Do wear gloves and safety glasses when handling the material.
Cleaning the residue must be done cautiously. Do not use alternative cleaning methods or cleaning agents not authorized or endorsed by Hach Company; they may damage the equipment. While cleaning a spill or leak, please follow the safety measures below: 1.
Title 40 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), parts 260 to 280. Waste must be managed and disposed of in accordance with federal, state and local regulations. Refer to Section VIII of the Hach Material Safety Data Sheet that come with reagents for basic disposal information on Hach Products.
Toujours effectuer les minéralisations derrière un écran de protection (# 20974-00) ou sous une hotte fermée. • Pour une protection respiratoire, utiliser une hotte ou l’épurateur de fumées Hach (réf. n° 23266). • Toujours porter des lunettes de sécurité avec protections latérales. •...

SECTION 4 OPERATION 客服:400 688 9809 4.1 Apparatus Preparation See SECTION 3 for more safety information. Prepare to perform the digestion either behind a laboratory safety shield or inside a fume hood. If a fume hood is used, check the fume exhaust system to verify it is working property.
客服:400 688 9809 A general procedure, incorporating application specific requirements, is provided in this section of the manual. To ensure complete sample digestion, consider the variables described in the following paragraphs. 4.2.1 Appropriate Sample Size For solid or organic liquid samples, less than 0.5 grams of anhydrous material can usually be digested effectively.

客服:400 688 9809 Table 1 Digestion Guidelines of Specific Sample Types Preheat Sample Vol. of Vol. of Sample Weight Time Special Instructions Type Acid Peroxide (Step 5) Plant tissue 0.25 to 0.5 g 4 mL 4 min. 10 mL Use Nitrogen-free paper to weigh samples.
客服:400 688 9809 Sulfuric acid (H ) consumption depends on the anhydrous mass of material and the chemical composition of the substance. Use of 4 mL is suitable for many materials, but not all. Therefore, the analyst must pay attention to the amount of residual H for the type of sample digested, and adjust the amount of acid or sample accordingly.
客服:400 688 9809 If 50% hydrogen peroxide is not available, 30% peroxide may be used as a last resort with caution. Because of the lesser strength, at least 1.67 times more volume must be used (i.e., 16.7 mL of 30% vs. 10 mL of 50% peroxide).
