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
