Pump Calibration Standard for Sulfur Dioxide Mini Titrator - HI84100-55

Analysis of sulfur dioxide in wine, as performed on the HI84100 mini titrator, utilizes a simple sample preparation, a high quality titrant dosing pump, potentiometric endpoint detector, and automatic computations. To maintain the high precision of the titrator, a simple pump calibration procedure is performed with HI84100-55 pump calibration solution. The pump calibration procedure involves the analysis of a known volume of a known solution. The pump calibration procedure should be performed anytime the titrant, tubing or ORP electrode is replaced. Periodic calibrations should be performed in order to accurately determine the free and total sulfur dioxide levels in wine.

The HI84100 determines the free and total sulfur dioxide concentration in wine using the Ripper method. The HI84100 can be used in all wines, including red, which are difficult to test using traditional methods associated with a distinctive color change to determine the endpoint. Excess iodide added to the wine sample reacts with iodate introduced by the titrant to produce iodine:

IO₃^- + 5I^- + 6H⁺ → 3I₂ + 3H₂O

The iodine produced in the sample then reacts with sulfur dioxide in the wine according to the redox reaction below:

H₂SO₃ + I₂ → H₂SO₄ + 2HI

Replacement reagents required to operate the HI84100 include:
