Compensation

Another useful feature of the CAL3K Calorimeters

The CAL3K calorimeter range has two main compensations:

• Firing Wire and Cotton Compensation
• Sulphur Compensation

Minor compensations are :

• Fibre Compensation (for food analysis)
• Moisture Compensation
• Gelatine Capsule Compensation

A brief explanation :

Cotton Compensation : Compensates for the firing energy and the cotton thread. Entry in degrees Celsius. Default : 0.04°C.

Sulphur Compensation : Compensates for the formation of sulphuric acid. Entry in Kj/g. Default : 0Kj/g. It is disabled during calibration and calibration check.

Fibre Compensation : Used during food/feed analysis. Entry in percent (of mass). Default 0%.

Moisture Compensation : Must be used when reporting in DRY form. Entry in percent (of mass). Default : 0%.

Gelatine Capsules : Used with powdery substances. Eliminates the spiking procedure. Entry in degrees Celsius. Is enabled in SYSTEM DEFINITION. Default is set to standard DDS Gelatine Capsules.

This feature applies to the following CAL3K Systems : CAL3K-AP , CAL3K-A , CAL3K-U , CAL3K-F
