Maximum titration volume (Fig. 197)
Setting should always make sense. The maximum titration volume can be set between 1.000 und 999.999 ml.
The volume for conditioning is included in the count!
It also serves as a safety criteria to prevent excessive titration, i.e. a possible overflow of the titration vessel.

Drift
The drift is calculated in µg/min from the titration mean consumption/time x concentration of the titration solution.
A stable drift at the beginning and end of the titration is important if you want to obtain reproducible results. This
applies in particular to samples with low water content in the bottom percentage range (<0,1%).The drift value
should also not be set too low because the titration time will increase considerably.
An airtight and dry titration vessel has a drift of < 50 µg/min. This corresponds to consumption of 10 µl (0,01 ml)
of titrant at a concentration of 5 mg/ml.
For many applications, a drift value of 100 - 150 µg/min is entirely sufficient. The default drift value setting is 100
or 150 µg/min for sample titration. 50 µg/min is the default setting for titer methods.
Endpoint µA
The range of the µA input can be selected between 0.0 and 100.0.
For KF titration, values between 10 - 30 µA are practical. The standard value is 20 µA.
Delta Endpoint µA
The Delta value in µA is one of the most important parameters for KF and Dead-Stop titration.
The lower the Delta value is, the longer the titration (dosing) is at a continuous speed. When using single-
component reagents and pure methanol as a solvent, the Delta value should be set at < 5 µA. Values of 2 or 3
µA are practical. This is because the KF reaction in methanol runs relatively slowly. When using double-
component reagents or also when using combination solvents, the Delta value must be set at > 10 to prevent
rapid overtitration. Values of 14 or 15 µA are practical.
Endpoint delay
The endpoint delay is set in seconds. It can be set from 0 - 100000 seconds.
The standard value is 10 seconds. Brief endpoint delays (5 seconds) are practical when

using very small increments (e.g., 0,001 ml)

using a titer of 1 mg/ml

creating a secondary reaction with a higher drift value.
