HI605453 - Stainless Steel Body for HI763123
The HI98197 uses the HI763123 platinum four-ring conductivity/resistivity probe for the measurement
of very low conductivity solutions. The HI763123 is capable of measuring the conductivity/resistivity
of high purity water (18.2 MΩ⋅cm @ 25°C). The conductivity readings are displayed with a
0.001 µS/cm resolution and resistivity readings to 0.1 MΩ⋅cm. The measurement of conductivity/
resistivity of high purity water is difficult to perform in an open vessel due to the reaction of carbon
dioxide (CO2) in the air with water (H20) to form carbonic acid (H2CO3). The carbonic acid will
dissociate into hydrogen ions (H+) and bicarbonate ions (HCO3
-). This dissociation will not only cause
a decrease in pH but also a decrease in resistance (increase in conductance). The HI763123 platinum
four-ring conductivity/resistivity probe has a threaded connection for the insertion of the probe into
a stainless steel flow cell to prevent the diffusion of carbon dioxide into the water. The high purity
water flows through the bottom of the flow cell using a plastic tubing connection and exits out the
side connection to a drain. It is important that the flow of water is from the bottom to ensure that the
water passes through the PEI sleeve of the conductivity/resistivity probe.
When using the flow cell for continuous measurements of high purity water, it is necessary to follow the
next steps:
• Rinse and clean the electrode with purified water. The PEI protective sleeve of the HI763123
should be removed by pulling down. After rinsing with water the probe should be dried and the sleeve
placed back on.
• Insert the HI763123 probe into the flow cell and tighten clockwise. Note that it is easier to screw
the probe into the flow cell when the probe is not connected to the meter.
Connect the supplied plastic tubing to the flow cell.

cable.
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

• Perform two-point calibration. The first calibration point is done in air (probe inserted in flow
cell without any solution). The air calibration is at 0.001 µS/cm. Once the probe is calibrated to
0.001 µS/cm then a second point is calibrated. It is recommend calibrating the second point with
the HI7033 (84 µS/cm) calibration standard. Holding both tubing (bottom and side) the standard
is introduced into the flow cell through the bottom tubing until there is a 5-7.5 cm (2-3”) column
of solution in the side tubing. While holding both tubes the flow cell should be tapped gently to
dislodge any trapped air. Alternatively the raising and lowering of each tube to move the solution
through the cell. The column of solution should be observed to move as one tube is raised higher
than the other. Once the reading stabilizes the calibration point can be confirmed.
• After calibration the bottom tube of the flow cell is connect to the water source to be tested. The
other tube goes to waste. The water source should be turned on and adjusted to approximately
200-500 mL/minute. A graduated cylinder or beaker can be used to determine the flow rate. The
water should be allowed to flow for at least 1-2 minutes before taking a reading.
• For the measurement of high purity water it is important to use a temperature correction coefficient
(β) of 5.20%/°C. See setup options for changing the temperature correction coefficient. This setting
will adjust each reading by 5.20% for each 1 °C away from the reference temperature (default
25 °C). Using a temperature coefficient of 1.90%/°C (default) will result in higher readings
(>18.2 MΩ⋅cm) being observed for high purity water at a temperature colder than 25 °C.

instrument by pressing the ON/OFF key.
The Auto Light Off backlight feature turns the backlight off after a set period (default 1 min) with
no buttons pressed. To set another period or to disable this feature, see SETUP menu on page 37.
MEASUREMENTS
Immerse the probe into the solution to be tested. The sleeve holes must be completely submerged. Tap
the probe repeatedly to remove any air bubbles that may be trapped inside the sleeve.
If needed, press RANGE repeatedly until the desired range (EC, Resistivity, TDS, Salinity) is selected
on the LCD.
Allow for the reading to stabilize. The main LCD line displays the measurement in the selected range,
while the temperature is displayed on the lower LCD line.
EC range
The conductivity range is from 0 to 400 mS/cm . The actual conductivity range (the uncompensated
conductivity)is up to 1000 mS/cm. The instrument will display conductivity readings up to 1000 mS/cm.
Note: The symbol in front of the temperature reading means that the temperature can be
entered by the user (Manual option selected in SETUP, or temperature out of range).
OPERATIONAL GUIDE

13
TDS range
A conductivity measured value can be corrected to a total dissolved solids value using the TDS factor.
Salinity
The salinity is derived from the conductivity of a sample.
Salt % range
The percent of salinity in a sample is dependent on the sample and the salinity coefficient.
For practical reasons, the salinity of a solution is derived from the salinity of the seawater. Two methods
of calculating the salinity from the conductivity are supported:
• Natural seawater scale
• Practical salinity scale
Natural seawater scale (UNESCO 1966)
According to the definition, salinity of a sample in ppt is calculated using the following formula:
RT=CT(sample)
C(35;15)·rT
rT=1.0031·10-9 T4–6.9698·10-7 T3+1.104259·10-4 T2+2.00564·10-2 T+6.766097·10-1
R=RT+10-5RT(RT–1.0)(T–15.0)[96.7-72.0RT+37.3RT
2–(0.63+0.21RT 2)(T–15.0)]
OPERATIONAL GUIDE
Resistivity range
The reciprocal of the conductivity of a material is the resistivity.

14
According to the definition, salinity of a sample in PSU (practical salinity units) is calculated using
the following formula:
S=-0.08996+28.2929729R+12.80832R2–10.67869R3+5.98624R4–1.32311R5
where:
RT- coefficient;
CT(sample) - uncompensated conductivity at T °C;
C(35;15)= 42.914 mS/cm - the corresponding conductivity of KCl solution
containing a mass of 32.4356 g KCl / 1 Kg solution;
rT - temperature compensation polynom.
Note: The formula can be applied for temperatures between 10 °C and 31 °C.
To access this range press Mode while in Salinity range until the seawater scale [SW] is
displayed.
Practical salinity scale
This is a practical scale based on the precise measurement of the electrical conductivity of a solution
with a known salinity range.
The relationship derived from the scale relates salinity, conductivity, temperature and pressure
and use a solution with a salinity of 35 ‰ as datum point. This is taken to have a conductivity
of 42.914 mS/cm of 15 °C at standard atmospheric pressure.
OPERATIONAL GUIDE

15
Notes: If the meter displays the top of the range blinking, the reading is out of range.
If the stability indicator “ ” blinks, the reading is unstable.
Make sure the meter is calibrated before taking measurements.
If measurements are taken successively in different samples, for accurate readings it is recommend-
ed to rinse the probe thoroughly with deionized water before immersing it into the samples.
TDS reading is obtained by multiplying the EC reading by the TDS factor, which has a default
value of 0.50. It is possible to change the TDS factor in the 0.40 to 1.00 range by entering
SETUP mode.
a0 = 0.008 b0=0.0005
a1 = -0.1692 b1= -0.0056
a2 = 25.3851 b2= -0.0066
a3 = 14.0941 b3= -0.0375
a4 = -7.0261 b4= 0.0636
a5 = 2.7081 b5= -0.0144
c0 = 0.008
c1 = 0.0005
X = 400RT
Y = 100RT
f (T)= (T-15)/[1+0.0162(T-15)]
Notes: The formula can be applied for salinity values between 0 and 42 PSU.
The formula can be applied for temperatures between -2 °C and 35 °C.
To reach this range press Mode while in Salinity range until the practical salinity scale [PSU] is
displayed.

16
The EC, Resistivity and TDS scales are autoranging. The meter automatically sets the scale with the
highest possible resolution.
By pressing Lock, the autoranging feature is disabled and the current range is frozen on the LCD.
The “Range: Locked” message is displayed. To restore the autoranging option press “AutoRng”
functional key again.
The autoranging mode is also disabled by selecting a “fixed range” in the SETUP menu. While in fixed
range mode the instrument will display the readings with the fixed resolution. A maximum of 6 digits
can be displayed. The top of the fixed range is displayed blinking when the reading exceeds this value.
To disable fixed range mode enter SETUP and select autoranging mode.
Note: Autoranging is automatically restored if the range is changed, if the calibration mode
is entered, or if the meter is turned off and back on again.
AUTORANGING
The probes designed to work with this instrument have an internal ID identification. Every time the
instrument detects probe changing, it reminds the user to update the cell constant of the new probe
being used and to calibrate in the appropriate EC range.
OPERATIONAL GUIDE

17
Two selectable temparature sources are available: reading directly from the sensor inside the probe
or manual entry.
Three options of compensating temperature are available:
Linear Temperature Compensation:The conductivity of a solution with a specific electrolyte
concentration changes with temperature. The relationship of the change in conductivity as a function
of temperature is described by a solution’s temperature coefficient. This coefficient varies with each
solution and is user selectable (see SETUP mode).
Non Linear Temperature Compensation:for natural water measurements.
The conductivity of natural water shows strong non-linear temperature behavior.
A polynomial relationship is used to improve the accuracy of the calculated results.
Note: Conductivity measurements of natural water can only be performed at temperatures
ranging from 0 to 36 °C. Otherwise the “Out T range” message will be displayed blinking.
No Temperature Compensation (No TC):The temperature shown on the LCD is not taken into
account.
To select the desired option enter SETUP menu (see page 37).
If the temperature is out of the -20 °C - 120 °C range the instrument will do no temperature
compensation.
TEMPERATURE COMPENSATION

18
The conductivity of an aqueous solution is the measure of its ability to carry an electrical current by
means of ionic motion.
The conductivity invariably increases as the temperature rises.
It is affected by the type and number of ions in the solution and by the viscosity of the solution itself.
Both parameters are temperature dependent. The dependency of conductivity on temperature is
expressed as a relative change per Celsius degree at a particular temperature, commonly as percent
per °C (%/°C).
The following table lists the temperature dependence of the Hanna Instruments calibration buffers.

CONDUCTIVITY VERSUS TEMPERATURE CHART

19
Pharmaceutical laboratories working in the US market are obliged to respect the regulations set down
by the US Pharmacopoeia (USP). The 5th supplement of USP24-NF19 lays down the rules for checking
the quality of pure or fully deionized water used for the production of injection products.
The conductivity of water provides information on its chemical composition. It is therefore logical that
conductivity is the main parameter to measure.
The conductivity of water is a measure of the ion mobility through this water. The conductivity partly
depends on the pH, the temperature and the amount of atmospheric carbon dioxide, which has been
dissolved in water to form ions (intrinsic conductivity). The conductivity also depends on the chloride,
sodium and ammonium ions initially present in water (extraneous conductivity).
The conductivity (intrinsic and extraneous) of the water is measured at Stage 1 and compared to
values listed in a table to evaluate if the studied water is suitable or not for use in pharmaceutical
applications. If the sample fails Stage 1, additional tests have to be performed (Stage 2 and 3) in
order to determine if the excessive conductivity value is due to intrinsic factors or extraneous ions.
USP Requirements
Automatic temperature correction must not be used.
Instrument specifications
Minimum resolution of 0.1 µS/cm on the lowest range. Excluding the cell accuracy, the instrument
accuracy must be ±0.1 µS/cm.
Meter calibration
It is accomplished by replacing the conductivity cell with precision resolution traceable to primary
standards (accurate to ±0.1 % of the stated value) or an equivalently accurate resistance device.
Cell calibration
Meter conductivity must be measured accurately using calibrated instrumentation. The conductivity
cell constant must be known in ±2%.
Before starting water analysis calibrate in the lowest EC range or set the probe cell constant (enter
the value written in the calibration certificate delivered with the probe).
Stage 1
Determine the temperature and conductivity of the water.
• Rinse the probe carefully with deionized water. Check that the four-rings, sleeve holes and the
temperature sensor are immersed in the sample and that no air bubbles are trapped. Connect
the probe to the meter, enter USP mode and press the Stage 1 key. The instrument will perform
a temperature and conductivity measurement (using a non-temperature corrected conductivity
reading).

• Using the Stage 1 temperature and conductivity requirement table the corresponding conductivity
limit at that temperature is determined.
• If the measured conductivity is not greater than the table value the water meets the requirements
of the test for conductivity. If the conductivity is higher than the table value, proceed with Stage 2.
