User defined Analytes

[Kristin]

How do I add units for user defined analytes?

Also how do I change the units of acidity so they are in mg/L as CaCO3

Hello Kristin,

 

When creating a new user analyte, you would need to first select the type of user analyte under category. For example, if you select Components in fluid, a list of units will be available to select in the drop down box next to 'default units'. Please refer to section 3.3.4 User analytes for more information and examples.

 

Default units for titration acidity are in equivalent base per volume or kg of fluid. Unfortunately, there is not a way to add mg/kg as CaCO3 as a default unit. Perhaps, you might consider adding a user defined analyte and set the unit to be mg/L as CaCO3. Please note that user defined analyte cannot be used in simulations by GWB apps.

 

Hope this helps,
