8.2.4.1 Conductivity/ResistivityTemperatureCompensation
h
NOTE: The full Temperature Compensation selection is available on Thornton model transmitters
only. All other models provide Standard, Lin 25°C or Lin 20°C compensation.
Select Resistivity and press [ENTER].
The temperature compensation mode for any of the four measurement lines can be selected.
Temperature compensation should be matched to the characteristics of the application.
Choices are ”None”*, ”Standard”, ”Light 84”*, ”Std 75 ºC”*, ”Lin 25°C”, ”Glycol.5”*, ”Glycol1”*,
”Cation”*, ”Alcohol”*, ”Ammonia”* and ”Lin 20°C”.
Standard compensation includes compensation for non-linear high purity effects as well as con-
ventional neutral salt impurities and conforms to ASTM standards D1125 and D5391.
* Std 75 °C compensation is the Standard compensation algorithm referenced to 75°C. This
compensation may be preferred when measuring Ultrapure Water at an elevated temperature.
(Resistivity of ultrapure water compensated to 75 °C is 2.4818 Mohm-cm.
Lin 25 °C compensation adjusts the reading by a factor expressed as a ”% per °C” (deviation
from 25 °C). Use only if the sample has a well-characterized linear temperature coefficient. The
factory default setting is 2.0%/°C.
* Glycol.5 compensation matches the temperature characteristics of 50% ethylene glycol in
water. Compensated measurements using this solution may go above 18 Mohm-cm.
* Glycol1 compensation matches the temperature characteristics of 100% ethylene glycol.
Compensated measurements may go well above 18 Mohm-cm.
* Cation compensation is used in power industry applications measuring the sample after a
cation exchanger. It takes into account the effects of temperature on the dissociation of pure wa-
ter in the presence of acids.
* Alcohol compensation provides for the temperature characteristics of a 75% solution of iso-
propyl alcohol in pure water. Compensated measurements using this solution may go
above 18 Mohm-cm.
* Light 84 compensation matches the high purity water research results of Dr. T.S. Light
published in 1984. Use only if your institution has standardized on that work.
* Ammonia compensation is used in power industry applications for specific conductivity mea-
sured on samples using ammonia and/or ETA (ethanolamine) water treatment. It takes
into account the effects of temperature on the dissociation of pure water in the presence of
these bases.
