Issue

How much acid can safely be used on the iCAP OES.

Environment

iCAP 6000 Series
iCAP 7000 Series

Resolution

iCAP OES can handle higher acid concentrations but the peri pump tubing will start to breakdown. So it is preferable to stay under 10% total acid. If it is necessary to use a higher acid concentration then Viton tubing can be purchased, but total acid should still be under 20%.
