    PRECISION AND ACCURACY

    Precision is how closely repeated measurements agreewith each other. Precision is usually expressed asstandard deviation (SD).

    Accuracy is defined as the nearness of a test result to

    the true value.Although good precision suggests good accuracy, preciseresults can be inaccurate. The figure explains thesedefinitions.

    For each method, the accuracy is expressed in therelated measurement section.

    PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

    Absorption of light is a typical phenomenon of interaction between electromagnetic radiation and matter.When a light beam crosses a substance, some of the radiation may be absorbed byatoms, molecules or

    crystal lattices.

    If pure absorption occurs, the fraction of light absorbed depends both on the optical path length through thematter and on the physical-chemical characteristics of substance according to the Lambert-Beer Law:

    -log I/Io = el c d

    or

    A = el c d

    Where:

    -log I/Io = Absorbance (A)

    Io = intensity of incident light beam

    I = intensity of light beam after absorption

    el = molar extinction coefficient at wavelength l

    c = molar concentration of the substance

    d = optical path through the substance

    Therefore, the concentration "c" can be calculated from the absorbance of the substance as the other factors

    are known.Photometric chemical analysis is based on the possibility to develop an absorbing compound from a specificchemical reaction between sample and reagents.

    Given that the absorption of a compound strictly depends on the wavelength of the incident light beam,a narrow spectral bandwidth should be selected as well as a proper central wavel

    ength to optimizemeasurements.

    The optical system of HI 83200 is based on special subminiature tungsten lamps and narrow-bandinterference filters to guarantee both high performance and reliable results.Five measuring channels allow a wide range of tests.

    Instrument block diagram (optical layout)

    A microprocessor controlled special tungsten lamp emits radiation which is firstoptically conditioned and beamedthrough the sample contained in the cuvette. The optical path is fixed by the di

  • 8/10/2019 man83200_22_06_11

    8/140

    ameter of the cuvette. Thenthe light is spectrally filtered to a narrow spectral bandwidth, to obtain a light beam of intensity I o or I.

    The photoelectric cell collects the radiation I that is not absorbed by the sample and converts it into an

    electric current, producing a potential in the mV range.The microprocessor uses this potential to convert the incoming value into the desired measuring unit and todisplay it on the LCD.

    5

  • 8/10/2019 man83200_22_06_11

    9/140

    The measurement process is carried out in two phases: first the meter is zeroedand then the actual

    measurement is performed.The cuvette has a very important role because it is an optical element and thusrequires particular attention. It

    is important that both the measurement and the calibration (zeroing) cuvette areoptically identical to provide thesame measurement conditions. Most methods use the same cuvette for both, so it is important that measurementsare taken at the same optical point. The instrument and the cuvette cap have special marks that must bealigned in order to obtain better reproducibility.

    The surface of the cuvette must be clean and not scratched. This is to avoid measurement interference due to

    unwanted reflection and absorption of light. It is recommended not to touch the

    cuvette walls with hands.Furthermore, in order to maintain the same conditions during the zeroing and themeasurement phases,it is necessary to cap the cuvette to prevent any contamination.

    Proper use of the powder reagent packet:(a) use scissors to open the powder packet;(b) push the edges of the packet to form a spout;(c)pour out the content of the packet.

    USING CUVETTES

    Proper mixing is very important for reproducibility of the measurements. The right way of mixing acuvette is specified for each method in the related chapter.(a)invert the cuvette a couple of times or for a specified time: hold the cuvette in the vertical position. Turnthe cuvette upside-down and wait for all of the solution to flow to the cap end,then return the cuvetteto the upright vertical position and wait for all of the solution to flow to the

    cuvette bottom. This is oneinversion. The correct speed for this mixing technique is 10-15 complete inversions in 30 seconds.This mixing technique is indicated with invert to mixand the following icon:

    (b)shaking the cuvette, moving the cuvette up and down. The movement may be gentleor vigorous.This mixing method is indicated with shake gentlyor shake vigorously, and one of the followingicons:

    shake gently shake vigorously

    13/140

    10Pay attention to push the cuvette completely down in the holder and to align thewhite point on thecap to the indexing mark on the meter.In order to avoid reagent leaking and to obtain more accuratemeasurements, close the cuvette first with the supplied HDPE plastic

    stopper and then the black cap.Each time the cuvette is used, the cap must be tightened to the same degree.Whenever the cuvette is placed into the measurement cell, it must be dryoutside, and free of fingerprints, oil or dirt. Wipe it thoroughly withHI 731318 or a lint-free cloth prior to insertion.Shaking the cuvette can generate bubbles in the sample, causing higherreadings. To obtain accurate measurements, remove such bubbles byswirling or by gently tapping the cuvette.Do not let the reacted sample stand too long after reagent is added. Forbest accuracy, respect the timings described in each specific method.It is possible to take multiple readings in a row, but it is recommendedto take a new zero reading for each sample and to use the same cuvette

    for zeroing and measurement when possible (for most precise results followthe measurement procedures carefully).Discard the sample immediately after the reading is taken, or the glass might become permanentlystained.All the reaction times reported in this manual are at 25 C (77 F). In general, thereaction timeshould be increased for temperatures lower than 20 C (68 F), and decreased for temperatures higherthan 25 C (77 F).INTERFERENCESIn the method measurement section the most common interferences that may be present in an average

    sample matrix have been reported. It may be that for a particular treatment process other compoundsdo interfere with the method of analysis.

    SAMPLE PREPARATION

    SAMPLE PREPARATION PROCEDURE

    The following Sample Preparation Procedure applies in case of:

    Samples with color or suspended matter (turbidity).Concentrated samples, for which the analysis result is over the range of the parameter.Use the accessories contained in the Sample Preparation Kit to prepare the sample according to thefollowing instructions.

    COLORED OR TURBID SAMPLES:

    Colored or suspended matter in large amounts may cause interference. They shouldbe removed bytreatment with active carbon and filtration.

    If the water sample contains suspended matter, let it stand in a beaker until most of the solid particleshave settled. Then, use the pipette to transfer the supernatant solution to theother beaker. To preventthe displacement of the settled solids at the bottom of the beaker, do not induce air bubbles into thesolution.

    Measure 100 mL of sample with the graduated cylinder.If the solution still contains some turbidity or color, pourit in the large 170 mL beaker and add a powder packetof active carbon.Mix well using the spoon and then wait for 5 minutes.Fold a filter disc twice as shown in the figure. Separateone side from the other three to form a cone. Insert thefolded filter disc in the funnel.17

    23/140

    Remove the cap and fill the Demineralizer Bottle with tap water.Replace the cap and shake gently for at least 2 minutes.Open the upper part of the Demineralizer Bottle cap and gently squirt the demineralized water into thecylinder, up to the 100 mL mark.

    Note: The ion exchange resin contained in the Demineralizer Bottle is provided with an indicatorsubstance. The indicator will change from green to blue when the resin has beenexhausted and needsto be replaced.

    Pour the solution in the 170 mL beaker, replace the cap and invert several timesto mix.19

  • 8/10/2019 man83200_22_06_11

    24/140

    If the solution contains some turbidity or color, add a powder packet of activecarbon and follow theprocedure described in previous section Colored or Turbid Samples.Calculate the dilution factor N:

    N = 100/VWhere:V is the volume of original sample poured in the cylinder, expressed in mL, and100 is the final volumein the cylinder, expressed in mL.

    When performing the reading, pay attention to multiply the read value by the dilution factor in orderto obtain the real concentration of the analyte in the original sample:Example:Reading = value A

    Dilution factor = NReal value in the original sample = A x N

    Note: The methods Potassium Medium Range and Potassium High Range require a dilution of 1:5(N = 5, V = 20 mL) and 1:10 (N = 10, V = 10 mL) of the sample. As the dilution is alwaysdone, it is already included in the final result and is not necessary to multiply by the dilution factor.

    This meter is designed to determine low levels of hardness, typically found in water purification systems.

    When testing some other sources of water, it is not uncommon to come across levels of hardness that aregreater than the range of this meter.

    This problem can be overcome through dilution. Dilutions must be performed withhardness-free water or the

    readings will be erroneous.A dilution to reduce the level of hardness by a factor of one hundred is performed as follows:

    Fill a 1 mL syringe with the sample.Place the syringe in a 50 mL beaker, making sure that the beaker is clean and em

    pty, and inject 0.5mL into the beaker.Fill the beaker up to the 50 mL mark with hardness-free water.INTERFERENCES
