6.1 Definition
N/A
6.2 Abbreviations
6.2.1 SOP : Standard Operating Procedure
6.2.2 QA : Quality Assurance
6.2.3 PROD. : Production
6.2.4 C.C. No. : Change Control Number
6.2.5 TDS : Total Dissolved Solid
6.2.6 PPM : Parts Per Million
7.0 PROCEDURE:
7.1 Cleaning:
-
- Before cleaning, switch off the instrument & disconnect from the main power supply.
- Clean with dry & lint free cloth & brush.
7.2 Procedure for determination of Conductivity:
7.2.1 Switch ON the mains.
7.2.2 Press on/off key on control panel of Conductivity meter.
7.2.3 Display will automatically begin within 3-5 second & will display “MEAS”, conductivity in “µS” & temperature in “ºC” on the screen.
7.2.4 Then wash the electrode with purified water & dip the electrode in sample for which conductivity to be measure, & hold the same until the electrode get stabilize.
7.2.5 As the conductivity in the display get stable, record it & remove the electrode from the sample solution.
7.2.6 Again wash the electrode and dip it in purified water/distilled water.
7.2.7 If the conductivity meter is not in further use press ON/OFF key & switch off it.
7.3 Procedure for determination of TDS (Total Dissolved Solid)
7.3.1 When it show the conductivity on display screen then press the mode key, display will show the unit in ppm.
7.3.2 Wash the electrode with purified water and dip the electrode in sample solution and measure the TDS of sample in ppm.
7.4 Calibration
7.4.1 Preparation of 0.0006M solution of Potassium chloride (84 µS)
7.4.1.1 Weight about 44.74 mg of anhydrous Potassium Chloride reagent in 1000ml volumetric flask add purified water to dissolve and make up to volume 1000ml with same solvent.
7.4.2 Preparation of 0.01 M solution of Potassium chloride (1413 µS)
7.4.2.1 Weight about 745.6 mg of anhydrous Potassium Chloride reagent in 1000ml volumetric Flask, add purified water to dissolve and make up to volume 1000ml with same solvent.
7.5 Method of calibration:
7.5.1 Operate the instrument as per procedure given above 7.3.1 to 7.3.8.
7.5.2 Press a Cal / means key for calibration mode and ‘Cal’ appear on the screen.
7.5.3 Then dip the electrode in 1413µS/cm conductivity solution previously adjusted at temperature 25 ± 1°C when conductivity get stabilize in display, press enter and note the conductivity in Attachment-I.
7.5.3 Wash the electrode and repeat the step 7.6.2 for 84 µS/cm conductivity solution and note the observations in Attachment-I.
7.5.4 Attach calibration status tag on the instrument at suitable place.
7.5.5 If parameter does not meet the specified limits then immediately paste the label “Out of Calibration, Do not Use” on the Instrument and Inform to Production Manager.
7.6 Acceptance criteria
- Acceptance limit for Conductivity 1413± 5µS/cm.
- Acceptance limit for Conductivity 84± 2µS/cm.
- Acceptance limit for Conductivity 9±2µS/cm.
- Temperature 25 ± 1°C
