Acidity is an important parameter used to determine the quality of water (surface, drinking, wastewater). Acidity affects many things including chemical reaction rates, biological processes, and corrosiveness. It can also be used to monitor pollution in wastewater and drinking water.
Total titratable acidity is a quantitative measurement of the water sample's ability to react with a strong base solution to a specific pH value. Many chemical species can contribute to the acidity measurement depending on the method of analysis. These species can include strong acids (hydrochloric acid, nitric acid, sulfuric acid, etc.), weak acids (acetic acid, carbonic acid, etc.), and hydrolyzing salts (iron, aluminum, manganese, etc.)
Double Junction pH Electrode
The HI84530 is supplied with the HI1131B refillable, double junction, combination pH electrode. By design, the HI1131B has a spherical tip for use in aqueous or liquid solutions. This versatile electrode provides a wide surface of contact with a sample and is ideal for direct measurements or acid base titrations in the water industry.
Piston Driven Dosing Pump
The heart of the HI84530 is the piston driven burette pump. This type of dosing system uses a motor in which each dose is very precisely controlled and the volume dispensed is accurately determined. The piston driven burette is controlled dynamically so that the volume of titrant being dosed is automatically adjusted based on a voltage response of the previous dose. This type of dosing speeds up the titration process by allowing for more titrant to be dosed at the start of the titration and then very small doses as the endpoint is reached.
Automatic Stirrer
The built-in stirrer is automatically maintained at a speed of 600 rpm, regardless of the viscosity of the solution being titrated.
pH/mV MeterIn addition to being an automatic titrator, the HI84530 also can be used as a pH/mV meter. As a pH meter, it has many features of a professional grade benchtop including automatic calibration up to three points with four available buffers, a 0.01 pH resolution, accuracy of ±0.01 pH, automatic temperature compensation and comprehensive GLP data.
CAL Check™ Accuracy is always ensured with Hanna's unique CAL Check feature, which analyzes the response of the electrode during the calibration process. Based on electrode response in the buffer, indicators are displayed on screen to alert the user of potential problems during calibration. These indicators include Buffer Contaminated, Electrode Dirty/Broken, and overall probe condition. The CAL Check function not only ensures an accurate pH reading when the HI84530 is used as a pH meter, but also an accurate titration since the endpoint of a titratible acidity titration is determined by a set pH value.
