In the field of environmental monitoring and water quality analysis, chemical oxygen demand (COD) is an important indicator to measure the degree of organic pollution in water. As a commonly used analytical instrument, the accuracy of COD water quality detector is directly related to the authenticity of environmental monitoring data.Therefore, accurate calibration of the COD water quality detector is the prerequisite for ensuring accurate and reliable test results. This article will introduce the calibration method steps and precautions of the COD water quality detector in detail to help users master the correct calibration method to ensure the accuracy of the test data. The Yingrun Environmental Protection COD water quality detector is easy to operate.
Ⅰ.Preparation
Before calibrating the COD water quality detector, the following preparations need to be made:
1.Make sure the detector is in good working condition, including stable power supply, clear display, sensitive button response, etc.
2.Prepare standard solutions, usually standard substances with known COD concentrations, for calibrating the instrument.
3.Prepare the necessary reagents, such as sulfuric acid, potassium dichromate, etc. These reagents should be prepared according to the requirements of the instructions.
4.Prepare experimental equipment, such as cuvettes, pipettes, ear bulbs, etc., and make sure they are clean and free of contamination.
Ⅱ.Calibration steps
1.Preheating:Turn on the COD water quality tester,allow to warm up to normal operating temperature, usually 15-30 minutes.
2.Check the light source:Ensure that the light source inside the testing instrument is stable, without flickering or abnormal phenomena.
3.Cleaning the cuvette:Rinse the cuvette with deionized or distilled water and dry with a lint-free paper towel or air dry.
4.Preparation of standard solution:According to the requirements of the instructions, accurately prepare COD standard solutions of different concentrations.
5.Calibration operation:Pour the blank solution (usually deionized water or distilled water) into the cuvette, put it into the detection instrument, and adjust the zero point. Then pour the standard solutions of different concentrations into the cuvette in turn, record the COD value displayed by the instrument, and compare it with the theoretical COD value of the standard solution to calculate the correction factor.
6.Repeated measurements:To ensure the accuracy of the calibration, each concentration of standard solution was measured at least three times, and the average value was taken as the final result.
7.Save calibration data:Record the correction coefficients and related data obtained during the calibration process for future use.
Ⅲ.Precautions
1.During calibration, avoid direct sunlight and strong light interference to avoid affecting the test results.
2.The reagents used should be freshly prepared and used within the validity period. Expired reagents will affect the accuracy of the calibration.
3.Pay attention to personal safety during operation and avoid contact with toxic and harmful chemical reagents.
4.If a new testing instrument is used or a major component is replaced, recalibration is required.
5.Regularly review the calibration results to ensure the long-term stability of the test data.
The calibration method of COD water quality detector is a rigorous process and needs to be carried out strictly in accordance with the operating procedures. Through the correct calibration method, the accuracy and reliability of COD water quality detector can be ensured, providing accurate data support for environmental protection and water quality analysis.I hope that the introduction in this article can help users better understand and master the calibration method of COD water quality detectors and improve the efficiency and quality of detection work.
