    Chemical exposure hazard. Dispose of chemicals and wastes in accordance with local, regional and national regulations. Refer to the operation steps that follow and the applicable method at https://www.Hach.com/WAH to do a titration procedure. 3.1 Install a titration cartridge 1. Select the correct titration cartridge to use. Refer to the table in the titration procedure (method).

    Figure 3 Install a titration cartridge 3.2 Titrate the sample 1. Prepare the sample as follows: a. Add the applicable sample volume to a 125-mL or 250-mL Erlenmeyer flask. Use the smallest possible size of graduated cylinder or pipet to measure the sample volume.
  • Page 10 The results will not be accurate if the delivery tube tip is not held in the solution. d. Add titrant and swirl the sample until the end point. Record the number of digits shown in the digital counter window. Each digit (1/10 turn of the knob) supplies 0.00125 mL of titrant. For most tests, the solution in the titrant cartridge is made so that digits shown on the digital counter are the same as the concentration of the sample in mg/L.

    Figure 5 Select the hardness procedure Section 5 Accuracy check Use the standard addition method to check the accuracy of the digital titrator and to make sure that the procedure was done correctly. Refer to the Accuracy check section of the procedure for the steps. If the actual number of digits necessary is not within 1% of the expected number of digits during an accuracy check, refer to Troubleshooting...
  • Page 14: Section 6 Adapt A Buret Titration

    Section 6 Adapt a buret titration Adapt a buret titration method to the digital titrator as follows: 1. Use the equation that follows to calculate the digits necessary to do the buret method. Digits necessary = (N × mL × 800) ÷ N Note: The digital titrator dispenses 1 mL per 800 digits on the counter.
  • Page 15: Section 7 Troubleshooting

    Buret milliliters = (205 × 8.0) ÷ (800 × 0.4) = 5.13 mL Multiply the 5.13 mL by 4 to adjust for the decrease in the sample size: 5.13 mL × 4 = 20.5 mL If the buret method multiplies the number of milliliters of titrant by a factor to calculate the concentration of the sample, multiply 20.5 by that factor.
