RESISTANCE TABLES
This table shows the resistance of Type 316 350 662 20 40 60 80 100
stainless steel to the more common 300 ---
chemicals. Many factors influence the 250 482
resistance of materials to various solutions 212 ---
Factors which must be given consideration 175 347
for service in corrosive environments are: 150 ---
temperature, concentration, aeration, influ- 125 257
ence of inhibiting or accelerating contamin- 100 212
ents, influence of recirculation, solids in 75 167
suspension, velocity; frequency of use, and 50 ---
equipment design. The corrosion data is 25 77 20 40 60 80 100

The influence of contaminants is probably the most important from a commercial standpoint. Corrosive solutions are
seldom found that will be free to all contaminates. However, the majority of these contaminants have no influence on
corrosion, but the ones that do generally affect the conditions greatly.
When reviewing these corrosion tables, it is good to keep the following in mind:
Stainless Type 316 is resistant to chemicals.

CONFIGURATION SETTINGS
In some cases miscalibrating a loop may make it very difficult to properly recalibrate it
again. You can resolve this problem by returning to the default calibration settings:
Press the Default calibration checkbox. The default calibration settings will then be
restored at the time the loop configuration is completed.
For most loops, the calibration and input scaling is assumed to be linear. However,
certain parameters, such as dissolved CO2, may have a logarithmic relationship to the raw
reading from the probe. In these cases, you should change the input scaling to
“logarithmic” before calibrating the probe.
Note, too, that standard NBS RTD temperature sensors require the RTD input scaling
selection for proper linearization of the input signal.
Some loops may have a “noisy” reading, which means that the measured value jumps
around. You can reduce the noise level by applying a digital filter to the displayed value.
The input filter settings apply to the digital filter algorithm that runs once per second and
calculates the displayed value (DV) from the current value (CV) as follows:
If the CV is different from DV by more than the Band setting, then DV = CV.
The pH and DO loops have their own digital PID control algorithm. They generate
demands for base/acid (pH), and oxygen/nitrogen (DO). Their outputs range from -100%
to +100%.
Four-Gas mix percentages are determined from the pH and DO loop outputs as follows:
Nitrogen (N2):
Oxygen (O2):
Air:
%Air = 100% - %CO2 - %N2 - % O2, %, where Air ranges between 0 and
100%.
3-Gas and 2-Gas mixes are calculated as above, except only two or three of the
gases are used.
