- Conductivity Maintenance Kit
These kits typically include standard solutions for calibration, cleaning solutions, and storage containers, which are vital for applications like water quality testing, pharmaceutical purity checks, environmental monitoring, and process control.
-
Calibration:
Conductivity standards (e.g., potassium chloride solutions) are used to calibrate the instrument, ensuring its readings are accurate and traceable.
-
Cleaning:
The kit may include cleaning solutions to remove residues from the probe, which can otherwise affect measurement accuracy.
-
Storage:
Proper storage solutions and containers are provided to keep the probe in optimal condition between uses, preventing damage and contamination.
-
Pharmaceuticals:
Verifying the purity of water used in drug manufacturing to meet pharmacopeial grade requirements.
-
Water Quality:
Testing the purity of drinking water, wastewater, and process water to detect impurities and monitor salinity.
-
Environmental Monitoring:
Assessing salinity levels and general water quality in various environmental samples.
-
Food and Beverage:
Ensuring quality control and safety in food and beverage production.
-
Industrial Processes:Monitoring water quality in applications like steam boilers, cooling towers, and electroplating.
Description
Conductivity meters and cells should be calibrated to a standard solution before you use them.
When selecting a standard, choose one that has the approximate conductivity of the solution to be measured.
Cleaning Electrodes:
A polarized or fouled electrode must be cleaned to renew the active surface of the cell.
- In most situations, the Electrode Cleaning Solution is an effective cleanser.
- Acetone easily cleans most organic matter and Chlorine solutions will remove algae, bacteria or moulds.
- To prevent cell damage, abrasives or sharp objects should not be used to clean an electrode.
- A cotton bud works well for cleaning, but care must be taken not to widen the distance of the cell.
