This chemical test kit measures alkalinity by titration with hydrochloric acid. It is supplied complete with all of the reagents and equipment necessary to perform approximately 110 tests.
- All reagents marked with expiration date and lot number for traceability
- Manual titration performed with color indicator
- Complete setup-All required materials are included with the test kit, such as the sample beakers, plastic syringe, phenolphthalein indicator, and bromophenol blue indicator
- High Resolution- Readings from 0 to 100 mg/L are determined to 1 mg/L resolution
- Readings from 0 to 300 mg/L are determined to 3 mg/L resolution
Alkalinity is the quantitative capacity of a water sample to neutralize an acid to a set pH. This measurement is very important in determining the corrosive characteristics of water due primarily to hydroxide, carbonate, and bicarbonate ions. Other sources of alkalinity can be from anions that can be hydrolyzed such as phosphates, silicates, borates, fluoride, and salts of some organic acids. Alkalinity is critical in the treatments of drinking water, wastewater, boiler and cooling systems, and soils.
