In the world of water quality assessment, precision and efficiency are non-negotiable. Introducing the I-2001 Dissolved Chlorine Meter, a state-of-the-art device designed for swift and accurate measurement of chlorine levels in water from 0 to 5.00 ppm. Let’s explore the features, methodology, and user-friendly nature of this exceptional tool.
Features and Methodology:
The I-2001 Dissolved Chlorine Meter employs the DPD Method, a USEPA-accepted technique for chlorine testing. In this methodology, free chlorine reacts with DPD to create a pink product. Even in the presence of ammonia or amines, where some chlorine may exist as combined chlorine, the results remain accurate if readings are taken within one minute. For determining total chlorine (the sum of free and combined chlorine), the A-2500 Activator Solution (potassium iodide) is used, ensuring comprehensive water analysis. Results are expressed in ppm (mg/L) Cl2.
This versatile device is not limited to assessing free and combined chlorine. It is also applicable for the direct determination of hypochlorite concentrations in cleaning preparations and disinfectants before dilution. DPD reacts with hypochlorite ions, forming a distinct pink color, and results are expressed as a percentage (% NaOCl).
Ease of Use and Cost Efficiency:
The I-2001 Dissolved Chlorine Meter is designed for user convenience. The LED display ensures precise and accurate readouts, making the process straightforward for operators. With a one-time purchase, the cost per test is a mere $1.02, offering a cost-effective solution for routine water testing needs.
