Calculations Acid & Sulfur Corrections Definitions • Total acid is the amount of base required to titrate the combustion vessel washings (milliliters). • Nitric acid is that portion of the total acid in the combustion vessel washings that result when the nitrogen in the air that is trapped in the vessel is burned at high pressure.
6772 Calculations Acid Correction In the 6772 there are a number of settings for the acid correction. = the nitric acid portion of the correction. Fixed HNO : The Acid Correction is a fixed value set by the operator. The calculation is: = (nitric acid value)(acid multiplier)(heat of formation of nitric acid) For an 1108 Oxygen Combustion Vessel the default nitric acid value is 10 and acid multiplier is 0.0709.
The 6772 Calorimetric Thermometer can be set up to apply the acid correction by either the ASTM or ISO convention, as the user prefers. Care must be used to ensure the proper corrections are applied, and the calculations made are consistent with the procedure used (see Settings for ISO &...
