KHD calibration

[TCoach]

I have some alkalinity calibration standard reagent that is 7.0. I ran 4 tests and each test ended up being 0.1 d KH lower than the prior. Any reason for this? It has me concerned that using an unchanging standard, the results kept going down.

Any idea what is going on here?

Thanks,

P.S.

I calibrated the KHD probe within the last week.

Looks fine to me.

When testing with a reference solution, it's important to consider the tolerance of the KHD and the reference solution. With both, the total tolerance becomes +/- 0.4 which means the numbers you saw are still within that acceptable range.

Thanks for clarifying! Should have known that. Guess I'll blame it on the holiday weekend.
