4.3.4.2 Information on Filling Amounts
IMPORTANT
• Above the nominal filling level, the heat dissipation is too great, preventing
compliance with the specified tolerances.
• Overflow of the calibration liquid causes contamination and can damage the
calibrator.
Ensure that the nominal fill level is not exceeded during operation.
The filling level in the tank or tub insert rises because of
Thermal expansion
•
The calibration liquids expand to different degrees
when heated. The increase in filling level depends
on the calibration liquids used and the reference
temperature set.
Displacement by sensors
•
The displaced volume of the sensors to be tested
must be taken into account in the filling quantity.
Rise due to stirring
•
The rotation of the magnetic stirrer causes a vor-
tex to form in the liquid. This causes the filling
level on the wall to rise.
Tank
The nominal filling level in the tank is indicated by
the upper edge of the aluminium lining.
The nominal filling level is ~0.45 litres.
Tub insert
The nominal filling level with the tub insert is below the fixture for the exchange tool.
The nominal filling level is ~0.32 litres.
