I have tried twice to send this as a reply to an earlier post. Doesn't seem
to get posted.  My apologies if it is getting through.  I am not seeing it
at my end.

Ivan,


     Thanks for the graph, looking forward to the next one.
I ran 2 more batches this week-end, one for 1hr and the 2nd
for 2 hrs.  With out compensating for the difference in wetted electrode
length(yours 1 3/4, mine 2 1/2) the CS resistance results of the 2 hour run
was 15.13Kohms.  This falls in line with your graph for 18ppm.  From now on
I will vary the electrode length for better correlation when the final
measurements are read.

The batches were made with the electrode 3/4 inch apart. My 8oz glass is 3
1/4 inches at the top and narrows at the bottom.  The electrode are vary
close to the sides of the glass at 1 3/4 inch spacing.  This is the only
reason I am looking at different electrode spacing.  I like to keep the
electrodes spaced evenly from the sides and each other, 3/4 inch looks good
for this.

Below are this week-ends runs.  Although CS conductivity and ppm do not have
a linear relationship I did do some linear calculations(shown at end of
e-mail) using past information.  My 2 hr run ppm calculation was 18.66ppm,
again very close to your graph.

Calculations:  

  From Ivans Data base:

  12 - 15ppm @ 1 3/4" electrode spacing

  20Kohms/12ppm = 1.67Kohms/ppm
  20Kohms/15ppm = 1.33Kohms/ppm

>From the above data calculate the ppm?

1hr run:  12ppm + (20K - 22.41K)/1.67K/ppm = CS sol's ppm
                          12ppm + (-2.41/1.67K/ppm)=
                                       12ppm - 1.44ppm = 10.55 ppm

          15ppm + (20K - 22.41K)/1.33K/ppm = CS sol's ppm
                      15ppm + (-2.41/1.33K/ppm) =
                                     15ppm - 1.81ppm = 13.18ppm
  
  The ppm for this run is between 10.55 and 13.18ppm


2hr run:  12ppm + (20K -15.13K)/1.67K/ppm =
                         12ppm + 4.87K/1.67K/ppm =
                                      12ppm + 2.92ppm = 14.92ppm 

          15ppm + (20K -15.13K)/1.33K/ppm =
                      15ppm + 4.87K/1.33K/ppm =
                                   15ppm + 3.66ppm = 18.66ppm 

 The ppm for this run is between 14.92 and 18.66ppm
 

                                Thanks for the graph
