Drop / Bubble Counter The stored calibration for the selected range will be automatically loaded into the EASYSENSE unit when the Drop / Bubble Counter is connected The Drop / Bubble Counter is supplied with: A steel support rod (80 mm long x 10 mm diameter with a M6 thread). This support rod can be screwed into the mounting threads, which are found at the base and sides of the Sensor.
Drop / Bubble Counter Using the Drop / Bubble Counter to count drops Setting up the reagent reservoir and alignment adapter The plastic reagent reservoir and tip supplied with the Counter will provide drops within the preset calibration ranges. The reservoir has two stopcocks. One stopcock is used to set the rate of flow from the reservoir and therefore the drop rate.
Drop / Bubble Counter Attach the alignment adapter to the Counter: Part screw the Pozidriv pan-head screw supplied into the mounting thread between the two ridges in the centre of the Counter. Slide the mounting arm of the adapter behind the screw head. ...

Drop / Bubble Counter If accuracy is not critical and you are using the reagent reservoir and tip supplied with a low viscosity liquid (like water) and the flow rate set to: - Fast e.g. 10 plus drops per second, use the 24 drops/cm range.
Drop / Bubble Counter Divide the number of drops by the volume (in cm ) to get the drops per cm value e.g. 272 drops fill a capacity of 10 mls = 27.2 drops/cm . Top up the reservoir and repeat three times to get an average value.
A replacement parts pack for the Counter reservoir is available from Data Harvest, which contains 2 x 3-way stopcocks and 5 plastic tips - use Product No. 3271.
Drop / Bubble Counter prevent flow and can be used as a ‘flow stop’. During test we found a standard 50 ml burette produced 23 or 24 drops per cm (depending on flow rate). Volume measurements are calculated by using the ‘drops per cm ’...
