873 Biodiesel Rancimat

Problem

Cause

Remedy

The curve progression is too
flat with the result that auto-
matic detection of the induc-
tion time is not possible.

Do not use Endpoint(s) as a stop crite-
rion in the method, but instead a defined
Conductivity e.g. 200 µS/cm (see Chap-
ter 4.5.2.1, page 60)
. Evaluate the curves
afterwards manually using tangents (see
"Setting tangents manually", page 112)
.

The measurement
aborts without an end-
point being found.

The measurement has been
stopped manually.

Keep the measurement running until the
endpoint is automatically found.

A time or conductivity is
defined as a stop criterion in
the method, which was
reached before the endpoint.

Deactivate time or conductivity as a stop
criterion in the method (see Chapter
4.5.2.1, page 60)
or increase the corre-
sponding value for the time or conductiv-
ity.
