Instrument Description 4.1 General Description Koshiler’s K29080 Is a sophisticated, portable instrument for the measurement of conductanoo tnd temperature in crude oil samples, plus pH in saueous samples. In addition, it can utiize the conductance and temperature’ data to calculate nd dsplay sel concentration per ASTM 03230, ‘The K29080 has built in capability to record snd save tothe databace. ‘The device uses a 2.6° TFT display that provides complete and descriptive data presentations plus the abilty to easly selup operational modes and parameters. Calibration data and system variabies ‘are maintained in non-volatie. memory. Thess values will not be lost when power is tured of. ‘The instrument is contained in @ weatherproof housing with sealed keypad for maximum Protection ina harsh field environment. A benchtop stand is also available as an optional acvessoly for laboratory use, 4.2 Microprocessor Control ‘The 23060 incorporates an__ intemal microcontroller that oversees and dractly activates all system functions. This allows the more complex portions of the contro! program ta be written in a high level language and then compiled into the machine code required for instumant operation. 4.3 Display Tho instrument, display presents four tines of parameter readings ‘simultaneously for operator review, see Figure 1 to see an example showing User Name 7” Sample ID, Salt Concentration, Conductance and Temperature, 22060 San Grade Anacer ‘Operon ont nso at! The parameters are solacted within the “Display Parameters” menu located in “Settings” Avaliable display paremeters include: User ID, Sample ID, Date, Time, Salt Concentration, Conductance (ron-compensated), Conductance coasted. 0 25°C, pH, pH in mv, and Temperature. See the ‘menu in Figure 2 below. If more data is selected Use the down / up arrow to access them. In the “Settings” menu the user can also set the Dato and Time (Figure 3), select Measurement Units (Figure 4), and select tne aumber of decimal Places to be displayed (Figure 5), The measurement units of the temperature, conductance and salt concentration cen be changed for user preference.ae Ap) Salad co pga a Figure 5. Decimal Places 44° Keypad There are three soft buttons which change based fon the screen you are in and there are 5 other buttons which are used for navigation. The center round button is the select button ifthe unit is on or itacts as an ON/OFF button if the unit is of 4.5 Power Requirements The K29060 has several power source options. The primary source for portable (short-term) field operation is the internal battery pack. The instrument has a built in battery charger for the internal battery. The internal battery is charged by plugging the external AC adapter into the Power connector on the side of the unit. For continuous lab operation the instrument may be powered from an 115VAC source by plugging the external AC adapter into the Power connector. ‘The instrument maintains an auto-shutoff feature lo prolong battery life when it is being used for intermittent measurements. This feature may be deselecied in the setup menu. When the unit is ‘operated from the internal batteries it has enough capacity for approximately eight hours of, continuous operation. 4.6 pH Input The pH channel of the instrument uses a low noise, ultra low input bias current instrumentation ‘ampitier, It is configured as a differential input ampifier. The sensor to be used may be any combination pH electrode that will allow connection to the readout, BNC connector. The electrode should also have a temperature response that follows the *Nemst" equation, as this is the means used by the unit to temperature compensate the pH measurement. The temperature value that is used during pH compensation is normally the measured temperature provided by the sensor. in the conductance probe. During calibration the pH temperature may be input manually from the keypad or taken automatically from the conductance sensor.
