These solutions are general best practices for moisture testing but apply specifically to the CSC Scientific Aquapal III Titator.
Cause: Indicates Excess Moisture: (usually caused by adding sample before pressing start.
Remedy: Turn CELL off and on. Check septas for air tight seal.
Cause: Excess moisture in headspace or on walls of vessel.
Remedy: Remove vessel from clamp and SWIRL so anode solution rises along wall to absorb moisture.
Cause: Reagents depleted if more than three (3) weeks old.
Remedy: Change reagents.
We will be offering more tips on how to acquire reliable and more importantly, repeatable results from your moisture titration system.
