HI3811 CTK Alkalinity

The HI3811 is a titration-based chemical test kit that determines the alkalinity concentration in samples within a 0 to 100 mg/L (ppm) CaCO3 or 0 to 300 mg/L CaCO3 range. The HI3811 is supplied with all of the necessary reagents and equipment to perform the analysis. The test kit contains enough reagents for perform approximately 110 tests. Features at-a-glance 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 Replacement reagents available There is no need to buy a new kit when reagents are exhausted. The HI3811-100 reagent set can be ordered to replace the reagents supplied with the kit. This reagent set comes with 1 (10mL) dropper bottle of phenolphthalein indicator, 1 (10mL) dropper bottle of bromophenol blue indicator, and 1 (120mL) bottle of HI3811-0 reagent. Significance of Use 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.
