Lists pH/ 3400i Glossary Adjusting To manipulate a measuring system so that the relevant value (e. g. the displayed value) differs as little as possible from the correct value or a value that is regarded as correct, or that the difference remains within the tolerance. Amperometry Name of a measuring technique. The signal (depending on the measured parameter) of the probe is the electric current. The electrical voltage remains constant. Asymmetry Designation for the offset potential of a pH electrode.
pH/ 3400i Lists Measured value The measured value is the special value of a measured parameter to be determined. It is given as a combination of the numerical value and unit (e. g. 3 m; 0.5 s; 5.2 A; 373.15 K). Measuring system The measuring system comprises all the devices used for measuring, e. g. measuring instrument and probe. In addition, there is the cable and possibly an amplifier, terminal strip and armature.
Lists pH/ 3400i Slope (relative) Standard solution Temperature coefficient Designation used by WTW in the D. O. measuring technique. It expresses the relationship of the slope value to the value of a theoretical reference probe of the same type of construction. The standard solution is a solution where the measured value is known by definition. It is used to calibrate a measuring system. Value of the slope of a linear temperature function.
