Measurement (meas)
6.1
Procedure for proper measurement
- Test the instrument for accuracy with the accompanying density standard or
distilled water before beginning any measurements (see Chapter 4.3).
- Ensure that the measuring cell is clean before each measurement. Insufficient
cleaning leads to remaining residue in the measuring cell and, therefore, in-
correct results.
- Check the sample for chemical resistance of the instrument materials.
• Sample tube:
• Measuring cell:
• Measuring cell holder:
• Sample pump:
- Ensure that the samples to be measured:
• are liquid enough to be sucked up or injected;
• can be dissolved with a solvent suitable for cleaning the measuring cell;
• are homogeneous (no emulsions or suspended particles, no air bubbles);
• have reached ambient temperature in the measuring cell.
For samples which are 20 °C colder than the ambient temperature:
- Heat the sample before beginning the sampling procedure.
Note
The unit display flashes when the difference in temperature between the sample
and the ambient air is greater than ±5 °C.
For samples of high viscosity (> 2000 mPa
- Use an external syringe to fill the measuring cell.
