8.2.3 Temperature Compensation
(for Mettler Toledo Thornton M300 only)
Press [ENTER] to select this Menu. The temperature compensation mode for any of the four
measurement lines can be selected. Temperature compensation should be matched to the
characteristics of the application. Choices are ‘None’, ‘Standard’, ‘Light 84’, ‘Std 75ºC’, ‘Linear’,
‘Glycol.5’, ‘Glycol1’, ‘Cation’, ‘Alcohol’, and ‘Ammonia’. Press [ENTER] and save changes.
Standard compensation includes compensation for non-linear high purity effects as well as
conventional neutral salt impurities and conforms to ASTM standards D1125 and D5391.
Std 75°C compensation is the Standard compensation algorithm referenced to 75°C. This
compensation may be preferred when measuring Ultrapure Water at an elevated temperature.
(Resistivity of ultrapure water compensated to 75°C is 2.4818 Mohm-cm.)
Linear compensation adjusts the reading by a factor expressed as a “% per °C” (deviation from
25°C). Use only if the sample has a well-characterized linear temperature coefficient. The factory
default setting is 2.0%/°C.
Glycol.5 compensation matches the temperature characteristics of 50% ethylene glycol in water.
Compensated measurements using this solution may go above 18 Mohm-cm.
Glycol1 compensation matches the temperature characteristics of 100% ethylene glycol.
Compensated measurements may go well above 18 Mohm-cm.
Cation compensation is used in power industry applications measuring the sample after a cation
exchanger. It takes into account the effects of temperature on the dissociation of pure water in the
presence of acids.
Alcohol compensation provides for the temperature characteristics of a 75% solution of isopro-
pyl alcohol in pure water. Compensated measurements using this solution may go above 18
Mohm-cm.
Light 84 compensation matches the high purity water research results of Dr. T.S. Light published
in 1984. Use only if your institution has standardized on that work.
Ammonia compensation is used in power industry applications for specific conductivity
measured on samples using ammonia and/or ETA (ethanolamine) water treatment. It takes
into account the effects of temperature on the dissociation of pure water in the presence of
these bases.
