Verification of Instrument Operation To verify the proper operation of the 9020-OEM or 9020 instrument, the P/N 710920 Test Probe is used. The test probe should be connected to the connector on the end of the probe cable and the switches on the transmitter set in accordance with the following: Switch Position Value...

CORRATER Transmitter User Manual obtained, then a shorter time cycle can be selected as long as the readings do not increase substantially (>5%) over the readings taken with a 20 minute cycle. Set the ALLOY MULTIPLIER switches to the appropriate multiplier value for the metal or alloy of the electrodes as shown in the chart of Appendix 1.
Chapter 4 Operation After the initial measurement cycle is completed, the transmitter will update the loop current at the completion of each measurement cycle. If logging this data, it is not necessary to sample the loop current more often than once each measurement cycle. To convert the 4-20 mA.
Appendix A Alloy Multipliers NOTE: These factors are recommended for use with the 9020 instrument when setting the MULTIPLIER value, as ® described in Chapter 3. They are based upon use of CORRATER electrodes which have surface areas of 5cm "standard"...
Appendix B IMBALANCE MEASUREMENT FUNCTION OF CORRATER INSTRUMENTS Metal surfaces, no matter how uniform they may appear, have numerous microscopic imperfections. Metals such as iron alloys are crystalline in structure and surface imperfections such as small intergranular cavities will tend to grow, especially in liquids that have large concentrations of dissolved oxygen.

This is the measurement technique that it is utilized in CORRATER instruments to provide a qualitative measure of pitting tendency. In CORRATER instruments, the imbalance (or pitting) units have been established to be 2.5 microamperes (µa.) which scales to a current density of 0.5µa./cm (the ...
