7. Maintenance

Routine maintenance includes thoroughly cleaning the orifice of the CS547A
probe with the black nylon brush provided and a little soapy water. Rinse
thoroughly.

8. Analysis of Errors

8.1 EC Measurement Error

1. Bridge Measurement Error: < 1.0%

2. Calibration

Error:

bridge measurement: < 0.5%
calibration solution: < 1.0%

3. Ionization Error of KCl and Na+ Solutions After Correction:

< 2.0%, 0.45 to 7.0 mS cm

-1

< 8.0%, 0.005 to 0.45 mS cm

-1

Correction of Ionization Errors: Figures 8.1-1 and 8.1-2 show the amount
of correction applied by the example program to compensate for ionization
effects on the measurements. Also shown is an ideal correction. Factors were
