Cautions of Coulometric and Volumetric

1. Dry below items completely after washing.

・Electrodes, cell, flask, burette parts (Line, syringe, valve, nozzle), etc.

2. Pay attention to electrodes and glass parts to avoid damage when washing and fixing them.

3. Apply moderate amount of grease to connecting parts regularly.

4. Keep parts inside a desiccator after washing if they will not be used for a long time.

Cleaning Method and Checking Items of Vaporizer

B.G stays high while using vaporizer

Moisture in Carrier Gas

・Insufficient moisture removal by desiccant (SICAPENT, Molecular sieve) due to deterioration

・Dirtiness of heating tube and blowing tube

・Moisture absorption by deterioration of gas line

Coulometric ・Volumetric (Electrolysis ・Titration part)

(1) Causes related to cell and flask

・Insufficient grease at connection parts

・Deterioration of injection port packing by needle holes

・Use of improper grease

・Deterioration of silica gel

・Deformation of titration flask cap, deterioration of O-ring (Volumetric)

(2) Caused related to reagents

(3) Causes related to electrodes・Insulation failure (unstable potential)

・Dirtiness of Pt parts, deformation (Detector electrode, cathode solution cell)

・Dilution by injection of samples and titration solution

・Improper reagents combination (Induce interference reactions)

・Deterioration of reagents

Dehydration error (B.G. does not lower)

●Other Cautions

Clogging, less gas flow

Too much SICAPENT

Air gap

Low moisture removal

Too much glass wool

Too less SICAPENT

Desiccant filling (Bad example) Need of maintenance

Procedure of detecting factor

It might be a caution when unusual analysis results are obtained.

Lack of maintenance may cause unexpected trouble and decreased performance of instruments.

Daily maintenance is required for stable and accurate measurements.
