Section 2: Installing the sensor
Keep ¼ in. (6 mm) clearance between electrodes and piping. The electrodes must be completely
submerged in the process liquid, i.e., to the level of the threaded connection. See Figures 2-1 to
Figure 2-6 for recommended orientation and installation. Rosemount 400/40VP Contacting
Conductivity Sensors with 0.1 and 1.0/cm cell constants can be installed in ¾-inch pipe tees.
Rosemount 400/400VP Contacting Conductivity Sensors can be installed in 1-inch tees with a
¾-inch bushing. If the sensor is installed in a pipe tee or flow cell with the sample draining to open
atmosphere, bubbles may accumulate on the electrodes. Trapped bubbles will cause errors. As
bubbles accumulate, the conductivity reading normally drifts down. In the plastic flow cell, bubbles
are readily visible. To control bubble formation, apply a small amount of back pressure to the flow
cell or pipe tee.

LIQ-MAN-400May 2017
Section 3: Calibration and maintenance
3.1Calibrating the sensor
Rosemount 400/400VP Contacting Conductivity Sensors are calibrated at the factory and do not
need calibration when first placed in service. Simply enter the cell constant printed on the label into
the transmitter. After a period of service, the sensor may require calibration. For more
information on calibration, refer to Application Data Sheet.
3.1.1Calibrating using a standard solution
If using a standard solution, choose one having conductivity in the recommended operating range
for the sensor cell constant.
1.Immerse the rinsed sensor in the standard solution and adjust the transmitter reading to
match the conductivity of the standard.
2.For an accurate calibration:
a. Choose a calibration standard near the midpoint of the recommended conductivity
range for the sensor.
b. Do not use calibration standards having conductivity less than 100 µS/cm.
c. Turn off automatic temperature compensation in the transmitter.
d. Use a standard for which the conductivity as a function of temperature is known.
e. Use a good quality calibrated thermometer with an error rate less than ±0.1 °C to
measure the temperature of the standard.
f. Follow good laboratory practice. Rinse the beaker and sensor at least twice with
standard. Be sure the rinse solution reaches between the inner and outer electrodes by
tapping and swirling the sensor while it is immersed in the standard.
g. Be sure air bubbles are not trapped between the electrodes. Place the sensor in the
standard and tap and swirl to release bubbles. Note the reading and repeat. If readings
agree, no trapped bubbles are present. Repeat until two subsequent readings agree.
Calibration and Maintenance9

May 2017LIQ-MAN-400
3.1.2Calibrating using a reference meter and sensor
1.Connect the process sensors and reference sensor in series and allow the process liquid
to flow through all sensors.
2.Calibrate the process sensor by adjusting the process transmitter reading to match the
conductivity measured by the reference meter. See Figure 3-1 for the calibration setup.
Figure 3-1 In process calibration setup
NOTICE
The above figure shows two process sensors connected in series with a reference sensor. The horizontal
sensor orientation ensures good circulation of the process liquid past the electrodes. The staircase
orientatation provides an escape path for bubbles.
3.The method is ideal for calibrating the sensors used in low conductivity water (0.01/cm
cell constants) because the calibration system is closed and cannot be contaminated by
atmospheric carbon dioxide.
Following precautions are necessary for successful calibration:
1.If the normal conductivity of the process liquid is less than about 1.0 µS/cm, adjust the
conductivity so that it is near the upper end of the operating range.
The difference between the conductivity measured by the process and reference meter
usually has both a fixed (constant error) and relative (proportional error) component.
Because the cell constant calibration assumes the error is proportional only, calibration at
low conductivity allows the fixed component to have an outsized influence on the result.
For example, assume the only difference between reference meter and process sensor is
fixed and the process sensor always reads 0.002 µS/cm high. If the process sensor is
calibrated at 0.100 µS/cm, the new cell constant will be changed by 0.100/0.102 or 2%. If
the sensor is calibrated at 0.500 µS/cm, the change will be only 0.500/0.502 or 0.4%.
Calibration at higher conductivity produces a better result because it minimizes the effect
of the offset.

Instruction ManualCalibration and Maintenance
LIQ-MAN-400May 2017
2.Orient the sensors so that air bubbles always have an easy escape path and cannot get
trapped between the electrodes.
3.Turn off automatic temperature compensation in the transmitter.
Almost all process conductivity transmitter feature automatic temperature compensation
in which the transmitter applies one of several temperature correction algorithms to
convert the measured conductivity to the value at a reference temperature, typically 25 °C.
Although temperature correction algorithms are useful for routine measurements, they
should not be used during calibration.
There are two following reasons:
a. No temperature correction is perfect. If the assumptions behind the algorithm do not
perfectly fit the solution being measured, the temperature-corrected conductivity will
be in error.
b. If the temperature measurement itself is in error, the corrected conductivity will be in
error.
The purpose of calibrating the sensor is to determine the cell constant. To minimize the
error in the cell constant, all sources of avoidable error, e.g., temperature compensation
should be eliminated.
4.Keep tubing runs between the sensors short and adjust the sample flow as high as possible.
Short tubing runs and high flow ensure the temperature of the liquid does not change as
it flows from one sensor to another.
If the process temperature is appreciably different from ambient, high flow may not be
enough to keep the temperature constant. In this case, pumping sample at room
temperature from a reservoir through the sensors might be necessary. Because such a
system is likely to be open to atmosphere, saturate the liquid with air to prevent drift
caused by absorption of atmospheric carbon dioxide.
5.To prevent contamination of low conductivity (<1 µS/cm) process liquids, use clean tubing
to connect the sensors. To prevent drift caused desorption of ionic contaminants from
tube walls, keep the sample flow greater than 6 ft/sec (1.8 m/sec).
3.1.3Calibrating using a grab sample
1.Use the grab sample method when it is impractical to remove the sensor for calibration or
to connect a reference sensor to the process line.
2.Take a sample of the process liquid, measuring its conductivity using a reference
instrument, and adjusting the reading from the process transmitter to match the measured
conductivity.
3.Take the sample from a point as close to the process sensor as possible.
4.Keep temperature compensation turned on. There is likely to be a lag time between
sampling and analysis, so temperature is likely to change.
5.Be sure the reference and process instruments are using the same temperature correction
algorithm.

.Grab sample calibration should be used only when the conductivity is fairly high.

. The temperature compensation algorithm will most likely be linear slope.
a
. Confirm that both instruments are using the same temperature coefficient in the linear
b
slope calculation.
c. If the reference meter does not have automatic temperature correction, calculate
the conductivity at 25 °C using the equation:
Where: C25 = the conductivity at 25 °C
Ct = the conductivity at t °C
α = the temperature co-efficient expressed as a decimal fraction.
d. Confirm the temperature measurements in both the process and reference instruments
are accurate, ideally to within ±0.5 °C.
e. Follow good laboratory practice when measuring the conductivity of the grab sample.
-Rinse the beaker and sensor at least twice with sample. Be sure the rinse solution
reaches between the inner and outer electrodes by tapping and swirling the
sensor while it is immersed in the sample.
-Be sure air bubbles are not trapped in the sensor. Place the sensor in the sample
and tap and swirl to release bubbles. Note the reading. Then, remove the sensor
and return it to the sample. Tap and swirl again and note the reading. If the two
readings agree, trapped bubbles are absent. If they do not agree, bubbles are
present . Continue the process until two subsequent readings agree.
-While making the measurement, do not allow the sensor to touch the sides and,
particularly, the bottom of the beaker. Keep at least 1/4 inch (6 mm) clearance.
f. Be sure to compensate for process conductivity changes that might have occurred
while the grab sample was being tested. Rosemount conductivity transmitters
(Rosemount transmitter models 1056, 1066, and 56) do this automatically. They save
the value of the process conductivity at the time the sample was taken and use that
value to calculate the new cell constant when the user enters the result of the grab
sample test. Older transmitters do not remember the process conductivity value.
Therefore, the user must enter a value adjusted by an amount proportional to the change
in the process conductivity. For example, suppose the process conductivity is 810 µS/cm
when the sample is taken and 815 µS/cm when the test result is entered. If the grab
sample conductivity is 819 µS/cm, the user should enter (815/810) × 819 or 824 µS/cm.
3.2Cleaning the sensor
1.Use a warm detergent solution and a soft brush or pipe cleaner to remove oil and scale.
2.To remove oily films, use Isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol).
3.Do not use strong mineral acids to clean conductivity sensors.
