SODIMAT - Model 9073 Chapter 6 : Calibrating the instrument NOTE See chapter 5 for Programming the analyser. REMARK Any result (calibration or measurement) is always brought back to the reference temperature (25 E E C, 77 E E F). If the sample temperature is different from the reference temperature, it is required to execute a manual or automatic temperature compensation.
Enter the sample temperature value in EC. XX.X 6.3 Measurement calibration Three calibration principles available with the SODIMAT 9073 : - Addition calibration The slope and offset are calculated by means of measurements realised after one or two sodium additions in the sample.
SODIMAT - Model 9073 6.3.1 CARCAL calibration To use both 20 and 200 ppb CARCAL cartridges, the sample should not exceed 6 ppb of sodium. If not, the use of a mixed-bed cartridge is required. However, a one point calibration at 200 ppb is possible without a mixed-bed cartridge ;...
SODIMAT - Model 9073 Warning : do not forget to put back the filter after the calibration is completed. The analyser is then able to calculate the new offset and slope. If any big difference after the calculation compared to the theoric values, the following error message is displayed.
Page 51
SODIMAT - Model 9073 Warnings : - It is required to use a magnetic stirrer for a better stirring when preparing the stock solution. - Make sure anything used with the solutions are sodium-free : beaker, water, stirrer. (Frequent rinsing with demineralised water). - The accuracy of the Sodium concentration in the calibration solution depends on the weighing instruments, their accuracy in the measuring range used should have been checked.
