Overview

1.1 Overview and Features

The Slurry Analytical System can estimate the slurry mixing conditions.
Three quantitative indexes that dene the conductivity of slurries are output.
In the development of slurries, di󰀨erences in the material compositions and manufacturing
conditions can be compared based on these indexes.
New indexes for LIB electrode slurries (“Three quantitative indexes” are
output.)
The Slurry Analytical System analyzes the electrical properties of a slurry in terms of an equivalent
circuit.
The SA2632 Analytical Software calculates the three following quantitative indicators:
Index Description
DC resistance (DCR)
Resistant ratio (Rratio)
Uniformity (Uniformity)
Sum of resistance components in an equivalent circuit with slurry electrical properties
Ratio of resistance components of a conductive material in DCR
Distribution of relaxation (transient ow characteristic) by a conductive material

Latest application available
The latest application is always available since the Analytical Software is o󰀨ered from the cloud server.
Simple, easy measurement of slurry impedance
The impedance of slurry can be measured using the IM3536 LCR Meter, SA2633 Measurement Software, SA9001 Electrode Cell, and SA9002 Test Fixture.
You can set the frequency range required to observe the relaxation process of slurry using the
IM3536.
The SA2633 seamlessly performs error compensation, impedance measurement, and measurement
result analysis.
With the SA9001, which performs measurement with a slurry of approximately 1 mL, you can increase the number of samples even if the slurry is a little.
The SA9001 can be attached to and detached from the SA9002 with a single action.

The Test Fixture has stray admittance and residual impedance, which can a󰀨ect the measured
values. Performing open compensation and short compensation can reduce the e󰀨ect of stray
admittance and residual impedance of the Test Fixture and improve the measurement accuracy.
Check the following before performing compensation.
Warm up the IM3536 for at least 60 minutes after the power is turned on.
Be sure to perform compensation again when the Test Fixture is replaced. Correct measured
values cannot be acquired if compensation is not performed after replacement.
Make sure that there is no noise source nearby when performing compensation. An error may
occur during compensation due to the inuence of noise.
Noise source example: Servo motor, switching power supply, high voltage line
Perform compensation under conditions similar to the environment in which the actual sample is
measured.

Open compensation, short compensation

Performing open compensation and short compensation is recommended after the IM3536 is turned on.
Required item: Shorting plate for compensation provided with the SA9002 Test Fixture

Putting Liquid to Be Measured into the SA9001 Electrode Cell

3.4 Putting Liquid to Be Measured into the SA9001 Electrode Cell

Put the liquid to be measured into the SA9001 Electrode Cell.
The measured impedance value of the liquid to be measured changes due to the temperature and
time (the change rate varies depending on the liquid).
Perform measurement in an appropriate environment (stable temperature and same measurement
timing).
CAUTION
Do not let the liquid to be measured come in direct contact with your skin.
The liquid coming in direct contact with your skin may have negative e󰀨ects on your body. Immediately rinse your skin under running water.
Do not touch the electrodes of the SA9001 Electrode Cell.
Otherwise, accurate measurement may not be performed.
Setting the SA2633 Measurement Software
Do not let the liquid to be measured come in contact with the electrodes of the
SA9001 Electrode Cell and SA9002 Test Fixture.
If the liquid comes in contact with an electrode, accurate measurement may not be performed.
Do not touch the liquid
to be measured.
Always wear gloves when handling the Electrode Cell.
The liquid coming in direct contact with your skin may have negative e󰀨ects on your
body.
Wear gloves.
Do not touch the
electrodes.
