29.1 Dynamic equivalence point titrations (DET) ■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■

Volume after EP

This volume will be added when the number of equivalence points defined under Stop EP has been found. The curve shape after the equivalence point can also be seen this way.

Input range

Selection

Default value

0.01000 to 9999.99 mL off off

Stop time

The titration is stopped when the specified time has elapsed since the start of the titration.

Input range

Selection

Default value

0 to 999999 s off off

Filling rate

Rate at which the dosing cylinder is filled.

Input range

Selection

Default value

0.01 to 166.00 mL/min maximum maximum maximum

The maximum filling rate depends on the cylinder volume (see chapter

32, page 492) .

29.1.4 Potentiometric evaluation

The parameters for the evaluation of the titration curve are defined under

[Potentiometr. evaluation] .

EP criterion

The Equivalence point Recognition Criterion (ERC) found is compared with this value. Equivalence points whose ERC is less than the value defined here will be ignored.

Input range

Default value

0 to 200

EP recognition

This parameter allows you to filter out only the equivalence points that are being sought.

Selection

Default value all | greatest | last | ascending | descending | off all

286 ■■■■■■■■ 900 Touch Control

■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■ 29 Parameters all

All equivalence points will be recognized.

greatest

Only the equivalence point with the greatest ERC value, i.e. the steepest jump, will be recognized.

last

Only the last equivalence point will be recognized.

ascending

Only equivalence points with a positive slope of the titration curve will be recognized.

descending

Only equivalence points with a negative slope of the titration curve will be recognized.

off

No evaluation takes place.

Set windows

This parameter allows to recognize equivalence points only in a particular range (so-called window) of the curve. Equivalence points outside this window will not be recognized. A maximum of 9 windows can be defined. Setting windows is advisable when interference and unnecessary equivalence points are to be suppressed.

Selection

Default value

Measured value | Volume | off off

Measured value

The windows are defined on the measured value axis.

Volume

The windows are defined on the volume axis.

off

The entire titration curve is being evaluated.

Setting windows

The list of defined windows is opened with [Set window] .

When the list is opened for the first time, a window over the entire measured value range or volume range is already defined. The windows must not overlap, they only may lie next to one another. For each window, own criteria can be defined for the equivalence point recognition.

NOTICE

When you define a result variable instead of a numerical value as limit

value (see chapter 32.6, page 496) , then just one window can be

defined.

[Edit]

Define a new window. This is only possible when not the entire range is covered yet.

Delete the selected window.

Edit the settings of the selected window.

29.1 Dynamic equivalence point titrations (DET) ■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■

Only one equivalence point will be recognized in a window. The numbering of the equivalence points (EP) is defined by the numbering of the windows (e.g. EP2 in window 2), so that even if EPs are missing, the calculations will still be carried out with the correctly assigned EP volumes.

U/mV U/mV

EP window 2

EP window 1 EP1

EP2

EP window 1 upper limit 1

+

EP1 lower limit 1

V/mL V/mL

Figure 13 Equivalence point recognition and equivalence point numbering within windows

In the first example in the above figure, two equivalence points are recognized in two different windows (EP1 in window 1 and EP2 in window 2).

In the second example, two equivalence points are found in one window, but only the first one is recognized. In order to ensure that the user recognizes that more than one equivalence point was found in the set window,

EP1 is marked with a "+" in the result view. In addition, a corresponding message is entered in the message list.

Evaluation and equivalence point criterion with DET

The equivalence points (EP) are localized in a way similar to the Tubbs method [1][2]. The volume value of the equivalence point (V

E

) is shifted from the inflection point (see arrow) towards the smaller circle of curvature for real asymmetric titration curves.
