Dissolved Oxygen Meter HI 9146

Specification of

HI9146

Dissolved Oxygen Meter

Dissolved oxygen is a commonly measured parameter in aquaculture, wastewater treatment, environmental studies, and wine analysis. The HI9146 is a rugged, portable dissolved oxygen (DO) meter desi ned to provide high accuracy measurements whether in the field or in the lab. The meter features automatic calibration performed at one or two points in saturated air and/or zero oxygensolution.All readingsareautomatically compensated for temperature variations and can be frozen on the display upon stability using the auto-end feature. Salinity and altitude compensation are user adjustable based on the environmental conditions that are present. The HI9146 features a Battery Error Prevention System (BEPS) that detects when the batteries become too weak to ensure reliable measurements. The HI91 6 is supplied complete and ready to use.

Polarographic Measuring System

The meter and probe use polarographic sensor technology based on the Ross and Clark polarographic measurement method. The probe is comprised of a platinum cathode and silver anode in an electrolyte solution held in place over the surfaces of the electrodes by a polymer membrane. An external voltage applied across the system establishes a current proportional to the concentration of dissolved oxygen.

Replaceable Membrane Caps

The pretensioned thin polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) membranes employ a screw cap design that can be changed quickly by simply filling with the HI7041 electrolyte fill solution and screw on the DO probe.

Automatic Calibration

Calibration can be performed at one or two points to 100% and/or 0% saturation. The 100% saturation is done in air while the 0% is done with the HI7040 bicomponent zero oxygen solution.

Good Laboratory Practice (GLP)

The Good Laboratory Practice feature allows the user to recall calibration information including date, time and calibrations points.

Automatic Temperature Compensation

All readings are automatically compensated for temperature variations with a high accuracy, built in linearized thermistor temperature sensor behind a stainless steel cover.

Altitude Compensation

The HI9146 allows for altitude compensation for up to 4000 meters with a 100 meter resolution.
