Higher range chlorine solutions are typically used for disinfecting products but standard chlorine meters often cannot measure to higher ranges. For example the Hach Pocket Colorimeter II for chlorine measures to a maximum of 2mg/L, and the MD100 Duo for Chlorine measures to a maximum of 8mg/L There are several instruments available for samples where chlorine levels are high, lets take a ...
Hard water is water with high levels of dissolved minerals, and usually occurs in areas where limestone and chalk are common. These minerals can be divided into two types, and so hardness is often considered in two categories - permanent and temporary water hardness. [caption id="attachment_7029" align="aligncenter" width="350"] Hard water causes deposits on heating elements, but can also...
Answer: Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) is a measure of the combined content of all the inorganic and organic substances such as mobile charged ions, minerals, salts or dissolved metals in a volume of liquid. Normally TDS is used in water testing, where TDS is defined as anything present that is not pure water (H2O) molecule or suspended solids. Finding out the exact amount of TDS in water ...
Most methods of measuring chlorine in water refer to free and total chlorine, but what exactly do these mean and what is the difference? Measuring Chlorine with a Pocket Colorimeter The element Chlorine exists as a gas Cl2, when this is mixed with water it forms hypochlorous acid (HOCl) which is the disinfecting agen...
