Chapter IGeneral InformationIntroduction

Obtaining accurate pH values depends on both correct measurement of standard and sampletemperatures, and on compensation for any variations in these temperatures. This thermal compensationhas generally been accomplished either manually, (by measuring sample solution with a thermometerand then dialing in the measured temperature on the meter), or automatically, (by placing a separatetemperature probe together with a pH electrode in the solution). Both actions will modify amplifier gainor change the potential at the input of an A/ D converter, to scale the measurement into temperature-compensated values. The Orion 611 pH Meter requires no temperature dial or separate temperatureprobe. The meter measures temperature change through resistance changes that occur in the pHelectrode, and uses this information to automatically compensate for pH/temperature readings. TheOrion 611’s temperature measurement ability is based on the relationship of pH electrode resistance totemperature. The log of resistance of the electrode varies almost proportionately with temperature. AllpH electrodes have a negative temperature coefficient of about 8% per degree, that is, electroderesistance doubles for every 10 °C drop in temperature. Although pH electrode resistance at any giventemperature varies from electrode to electrode, all pH electrodes exhibit approximately the samepercentage change in resistance with temperature.

6 Measurement Procedures

Chapter IVMeasurement ProcedurespH Measurement

A. Set-Up1. Leave the Orion 611 in STD BY to eliminate warm up and increase component life. Allow one-

half hour warm up if meter has been disconnected.

2. Securely connect pH and reference electrodes, or combination pH electrode into INPUT (pH) and REF (pH) on the rear panel.

3. Verify that reference filling solution level in the electrode is adequate. The level of fillingsolution should be higher than the sample level.

4. Stir buffer and sample during analysis with a magnetic stirrer, if possible.

5. Rinse electrodes with distilled water between measurements.

B. Single-buffer Calibration1. Place electrodes (or combination pH electrode and a thermometer) in a buffer solution with a pH

value within three pH units of the expected value of the sample. For maximum precision, stirthroughout the measurement.

2. Set % SLOPE to 100%.

3. Turn Function Switch to TEMP.

4 . Using TEMP ADJ on the rear panel, set the display to the thermometer temperature reading.The meter is now adjusted for temperatures near the set point. If greater accuracy is desired, use the temperature calibration procedure. Calibrate for temperature whenever a new electrodeis installed.

5. Turn Function Switch to pH.

6. Using CALIB, set the display to the buffer value at the temperature being measured. (Checkbuffer packet or bottle for pH value at solution temperature, or see Table 1.)

7. Remove the electrode(s) from the buffer solution and rinse with distilled water.

8. Place the electrode(s) in the unknown sample. Allow reading to stabilize.

9. Read pH value directly from the display.

Orion 611 pH Millivolt Meter Instruction Manual

Measurement Procedures 7

C. Two-buffer Calibration1. Select two buffers. The first should be a pH 7 buffer (or near pH 7), and the second should be

near the expected value of the unknown (e.g., pH 4 or pH 10 buffer).

2. Place electrode(s) and thermometer in a pH 7 buffer.

3. Turn the Function Switch to TEMP.

4. Using the TEMP ADJ on the rear panel set the display to the thermometer temperature reading.If greater accuracy is desired use the temperature calibration procedure.

5. Turn the Function Switch to pH. Using CALIB set the display to the buffer value at thetemperature being measured. (Check buffer packet or bottle for pH values at solutiontemperature, or see Table 1.)

6. Remove electrode(s) from the first buffer and rinse with distilled water.

7. Place electrode(s) in the second buffer solution.

8. Turn % SLOPE until pH value of second buffer at the temperature being measured is displayed.

9. Remove electrode(s) and rinse with distilled water.

10. Place electrode(s) in unknown sample. After reading stabilizes, read pH value.

Temperature Measurement

A. Temperature Calibration at Two TemperaturesFollow the procedure below for determinations where maximum temperature accuracy is desired.

1. The calibration standards must bracket the sample temperature range. To accomplish this, selectan aqueous solution and pour it into two beakers. Bring the first solution to 50 °C. Bring thesecond solution to a temperature that will, with the 50 °C solution, bracket the expected sampletemperatures. For example, use a second temperature of 25 °C to temperature standardize for asample at 35 °C.

2 . Place electrode(s) into the 50 °C solution to a depth of at least 5 cm, and thermometer to itsimmersion line.

3. Turn the Function Switch to TEMP. Using TEMP ADJ on the rear panel, set the display tothe thermometer temperature reading.

4. Place the electrode into the second solution.

Orion 611 pH Millivolt Meter Instruction Manual

8 Measurement Procedures

5. Place thermometer into the second solution. After the reading stabilizes use a small screwdriver to adjust TEMP SLOPE on the rear panel until the display reads the secondsolution’s temperature.

6. Place electrode(s) and thermometer back in the 50°C solution, repeat steps 3, 4, and 5 if necessary.

7 . Place electrode(s) in a solution whose temperature is near the expected sample temperature. Use TEMP ADJ to set the display to solution temperature. This will minimize temperatureerrors at the sample measuring temperature. If unable to perform calibration at two temperatures,see Checkout Procedure.

B. Use of pH Electrode as a ThermometerTo obtain temperature readings using a pH electrode as a thermometer with the Orion 611

1. Calibrate the meter for temperature reading. See Single buffer Calibration, steps 3 and 4, orTemperature Calibration at Two Temperatures for maximum accuracy.

2. During measurement, with the pH electrode in solution, turn the Function Switch to TEMP andread temperature on the display.

Dissolved Oxygen Measurement

Dissolved oxygen measurements are displayed in ppm O2 when Orion 97-08 Dissolved OxygenElectrode is used with the Orion 611 Meter. Follow these instructions for preparing the meter andcalibrating the electrode.

1. Connect the BNC connector of the Orion 97-08 to the O2 input on the rear panel.

2. Turn the Function Switch to O2.

3. Display should read 7.00 ± 0.10.

4. Turn the mode switch on the electrode to BT CK. Good battery operation is indicated by areading of 13.00 or greater on the meter.

5. Turn the mode switch on the electrode to ZERO. Use the zero calibration control to set themeter to read 0.

6. Insert the reservoir (funnel) into a BOD sample bottle containing enough water to just cover thebottom of the bottle. Insert the electrode, making sure that the electrode tip is not immersed inthe water and does not have water droplets clinging to the outside of the membrane. Let standapproximately 30 minutes to ensure water saturation of air in BOD bottle. This bottle shouldalso be used for storage between measurements.

7. Turn the electrode mode switch to the AIR position. If measurements are being made at sealevel, use the AIR calibration control to set the pH meter reading to the prevailing barometricpressure in mm Hg (divided by 100). If the barometric pressure is unknown, if the elevation isabove sea level, or, if the sample has a salinity greater than 2 parts per thousand, consult Table 1found in the Orion 97-08 Instruction Manual to obtain the correct AIR setting .

8. Turn electrode mode switch to H2O for sample analysis.
