When accuracy, simplicity, and speed matter in water quality testing, the C-6802 Monochloramine Comparator delivers. Designed as a key component of the K-6802 Monochloramine CHEMets® Visual Test Kit, this comparator is used to visually measure monochloramine levels in both wastewater and drinking water disinfection processes.
Whether you’re on-site at a treatment facility or conducting routine quality control, this visual comparator offers a user-friendly and portable solution for testing monochloramine concentrations from 0 to 20 mg/L (as chlorine).
How It Works
The C-6802 Comparator is used in conjunction with the R-1402 CHEMets® Refill, which develops a yellow to green color depending on the concentration of monochloramine present. Users simply match the developed color against the pre-calibrated color standards on the comparator to determine the concentration.
Measurement Range and Increments
- Range: 0 to 20 mg/L monochloramine (NH₂Cl as Cl₂)
- Color Scale: Yellow to green gradient
- Increments:
- 0
- 1.25
- 2.5
- 3.75
- 5.0
- 7.5
- 10
- 15
- 20 ppm
These intervals allow users to get a quick and clear understanding of water disinfection levels—critical for ensuring safety and regulatory compliance.
Applications
- Municipal Water Treatment
- Wastewater Disinfection Monitoring
- Facility Maintenance and Inspection
- On-Site Water Quality Testing
The C-6802 is especially suited for environments where monochloramine is used as an alternative to free chlorine in disinfection, reducing harmful byproducts while maintaining effective microbial control.
Storage and Care
To ensure the longevity and accuracy of your C-6802 Comparator, be sure to:
- Store in the dark
- Keep at room temperature
Proper storage prevents fading or discoloration of the color standards, maintaining the integrity of your test results.
Why Use Visual Test Kits?
Visual colorimetric test kits like the K-6802 and C-6802 Comparator provide:
- Cost-effective testing
- Portability for field use
- Quick results without the need for complex instruments
These benefits make them ideal for technicians, engineers, and operators in the field.
Conclusion
The C-6802 Monochloramine Comparator offers a fast, affordable, and easy-to-use method for visually measuring monochloramine levels. With clear color standards and a broad detection range, it’s a valuable tool for water treatment professionals committed to quality and compliance.
