Taylor Technologies K-8027AB Owner's manual

Brand: Taylor Technologies

Model: K-8027AB

Type: Owner's manual

Taylor Technologies K-8027AB is a pH 6.5-8.5 (with Acid & Base Demand) reagent pack, formulated for exclusive use with Taylor's TTi® Colorimeter. It allows for precise pH measurement and adjustment in various water types, including potable water, recreational water, and wastewater. The pack includes three reagents (A, B, C) for testing pH and determining acid or base demand, enabling users to make informed decisions about pH adjustment. The estimated detection limit is 6.50 pH units, providing accurate readings within a specific range.

pH 6.5-8.5 (with Acid & Base Demand)

Range(s): 6.50-8.50

Colorimeter Series

Instruction #5859

Procedure

Note: When testing multiple samples simultaneously, a

separate sample cell with an unreacted sample of the

water tested must be used to zero the colorimeter.

Please note that varying the test procedure from the

original can affect the precision of the test.

1. Turn on the Colorimeter.

2. Select a test menu (ALL TESTS, RECENT TESTS, or

FAVORITES) containing pH 6.5-8.5 using .

3. Select pH 6.5-8.5 using  ; then press ENTER .

4. Rinseandll25mmsamplecellto10mLmarkwith

sample; then cap.

5. Insert sample cell into sample cell compartment. Align

marksperUser’sManual.

6. Select ZERO using ; then press ENTER . Zero

will be displayed.

7. Remove sample cell from sample cell compartment;

then remove cap.

8. Add0.5mLpH6.5-8.5-ReagentA;thencapandswirl

to mix thoroughly.

9. Insert sample cell into sample cell compartment. Align

marks.

10. SelectREADusing; then press ENTER . The

instrument will read the sample and the result will be

displayed.
