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.

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.

3.3 Calculate the concentration of the sample Digits necessary × Digit multiplier = Sample concentration Where: Digits necessary—The number shown in the digital counter window Digit multiplier—The number from the table in the method (titration procedure), which is based on the sample dilution and titrant strength. 3.4 Calculate the titrant volume used Titrant volume used in mL = Digits necessary ÷...
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...
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.
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.

Branch Procedure Answer Refer to the interferences given in the titration If interferences are not procedure for the parameter. present or thought to not be present, go to Branch B. If interferences are present, go to Branch C. Titrate deionized water with no standard The chemicals, apparatus, added, then do three standard additions.

Branch Procedure Answer Check the performance of the reagents. Use a If the reagents used were known standard solution to do the test or use a defective, do Branch B again new fresh lot of the reagent. with new reagents. If the reagents are in good condition, go to Branch H.

Branch Procedure Answer Plots C and D are examples of equal Refer to the Interferences increments between standard additions. Refer section of the procedure. Figure 7. Plots C and D show the effect of Apparent interferences can interferences on the standard addition and on be caused by errors in the the substances in the sample.
