Steps to Perform a Test in accordance with ASTM D4940
Test Preparation
a) Verify the PosiTector SST test cell using the Certified
Conductivity Standard (refer to the Quick Guide).
b) Thoroughly rinse beakers, funnels, and stirring rod with
deionized (DI) water until the rinse water has a
conductivity of 5.0 µs/cm (5.0 µmho/cm) or less.
1 - Prepare the Abrasive Solution
a) Add 300 ml of deionized water to
glass beaker
b) Using the plastic beaker, measure 300 ml of abrasive.
Add to the 600 ml glass beaker.
c) Stir the abrasive-water solution for 1 minute, let stand
8 minutes, then stir for another minute.
2 - Filter the Abrasive Solution
a) Prepare the filter paper by folding in half, and then in
half again. Place your finger between the third and
fourth layers to open into a funnel shape.

b) Insert the filter into the plastic funnel and filter 10 ml of
liquid into a separate container and discard.
c) Using the wetted filter and funnel, continue filtering
liquid into the small glass beaker to the 80 ml line.
3 - Prepare the Test Cell
Rinse the PosiTector SST test cell with deionized (DI)
water until the rinse water has a conductivity reading of
5.0 µs/cm (5.0 µmho/cm) or less.
NOTE:
Ensure the Po
of
Bresle Mode prior to testing.

4 - Test the Filtered Solution
a) Rinse the PosiTector SST probe cell by submerging it
into the filtered liquid 2 to 3 times.
b) Lower the PosiTector SST probe cell into the filtered
liquid and record the results in accordance with ASTM
D4940. A calculation is not required as the test cell
constant (K25) is equal to 1.
NOTE:
An update may be needed fo
r the PosiT
ector SST
to display measurements above 500 µs/cm.
