10. Checking the Volume (Calibration)

Depending on use, we recommend that gravimetric testing of the instrument be carried out every 3-12
months. This time frame should be adjusted to correspond with individual requirements. The complete test-
ing procedure (SOP) can be downloaded at www.vitlab.com. In addition, you can also carry out function
checks at shorter intervals, e.g. dispensing the nominal volume into a volumetric test flask.
Gravimetric volume testing according to DIN EN ISO 8655-6 (for measurement conditions, see 'Error Limits',
page 38) is performed as follows:
1.
Preparation of the instrument
Clean the instrument ('Cleaning', page 41), fill
it with distilled H
O and then prime it carefully.

2.
Check the volume
a) 10 dispensing operations with distilled H
in
3 Volume ranges (100 %, 50 %, 10 %) are
recommended.
b) For filling pull up the piston gently until the
upper stop of the volume set.
c) For discharge depress piston slowly and
steadily without force until the lower stop.
