Temperature compensa-
tion for diluted solutions
For the measurement of aqueous solutions
 in a low concentration range (diluted solution)
 in a small temperature range (|T - Tref| < 10 K)
 with a fixed reference temperature at 20 °C or 25 °C,
the procedures of linear (TC lin) and nonlinear (TC nLF) temperature
compensation are suitable.
The calculation of the temperature compensation is based on the pre-
set reference temperature, 20 °C or 25 °C. It appears on the display as
[TR20] or [TR25].
Application tips Select the following temperature compensation given in the table
according to the respective test sample:
Note
The reference temperature and temperature compensation are set in
the Measuring menu (see page 142).
