￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭ 3.5.6 3 Installation Differential potentiometry Potentiometric measurements with high-ohm measuring chains can be disrupted by electrostatic and electromagnetic fields in media with low conductivity. Use our 6.0229.100 Solvotrode or other special electrodes for pH measurements in organic solvents. If no reliable measurements are possible with these, then a 6.5104.030 (230 V) or 6.5104.040 (115 V) differential amplifier can be used.
￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭ 4.1 General 4 Setting up the titration vessel 4.1 General During the titration, it is important that the solution be well-mixed. The stirring rate should be high enough for a small "vortex" to appear. If the stirring rate is too high, then air bubbles will be aspirated. This results in incorrect measured values. If the stirring rate is too low, then the solution at the electrode will not be correctly mixed.
￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭ 5 Operation and maintenance 5 Operation and maintenance 5.1 General notes 5.1.1 Care The 905 Titrando requires appropriate care. Excess contamination of the instrument may result in functional disruptions and a reduction in the service life of the otherwise sturdy mechanics and electronics.
