Test Kit Alkalinity P & M

Field titration kit for P- and M-alkalinity. Range 0–400 ppm.

Product Description

Applications

Determines P- and M-alkalinity in boiler and cooling water, range 0–400 ppm. Designed for daily boiler maintenance testing.

Directions for Use

Fill the test jar to the 20 mL mark with cooled sample. Add 4 drops of reagent PA1 — the sample should turn pink (if not, record zero and stop). Add reagent PA2 drop by drop, mixing gently, until the pink colour disappears; count the drops used, each equal to 40 mg/L P-alkalinity as CaCO3. Keep the sample afterward, as it can be reused for the chloride test. For total alkalinity, swap PA1 for TA4 in step 2 (colour changes blue to orange instead).

Dosage

Not applicable — this is a titration test kit.

Control Limits

  • Recommended M-alkalinity: below twice the P-alkalinity level
