The measured quantity is, however, not dependent on the added volume
but on the concentration of a substance. The quantity VOL/VTOT, which
is proportional to the concentration of the substance in the measuring
cell, is therefore selected on the x axis for generating the calibration curve.
The effective addition volume VEFF(X) = VOL*VTOT(VMS)/
VTOT(X)
is introduced in order for a familiar physical quantity to be able
to be displayed on the x axis.

In the case of a very small addition volume as compared to the volume
VTOT(VMS), the effective addition volume approximately corre-
sponds to the addition volume added.

Fill the measuring vessel with the electrolyte
volume VTOT(VMS).

Add the volume VOL of standard solution or
sample solution.

Thoroughly mix the solution in the measuring
vessel.

Remove the volume VOL from the mixed solu-
tion in order to obtain the original total vol-
ume VTOT(VMS) again.

The effective addition volume VEFF now cor-
responds to the volume of the standard solu-
tion or the sample solution that is still in the
measuring cell.

Evaluation ratio

Preset ratio Q/Q(0) for the determination of the suppressor concentration
using the calibration method DT (see Glossary, page 867).

Q = currently measured charge

Q(0) = start value, charge Q(0)
