Testing for iron levels in brine solutions is crucial for industries such as oil and gas, food processing, and water treatment. The K-6002 Iron in Brine Test Kit is designed to deliver fast, accurate, and reliable measurements of iron concentrations ranging from 0-100 mg/L and 100-1000 mg/L using the Ferric Thiocyanate Method.
Why Choose the K-6002 Iron in Brine Kit?
1. Accurate and Easy-to-Use
The K-6002 kit uses self-filling CHEMetrics ampoules, which allow for quick and precise testing. The color-based visual comparison method ensures dependable results with minimal effort.
2. Safe and Reliable
Traditional iron testing methods require multiple preparation steps and extensive handling of chemicals. The CHEMetrics Chemets system simplifies the process, minimizing contact with potentially hazardous reagents. Each ampoule is vacuum-sealed, preventing exposure to unstable or stale reagents.
3. Complete Kit for On-the-Go Testing
Everything needed for iron testing is included in the kit, making it ideal for field or laboratory use.
What’s Included in the Kit?
- 30 self-filling ampoules
- Low and high-range comparators
- 25 mL sample cup
- 50 mL sample cup with cap
- Acidifier solution
- Activator solution
- 1 mL syringe
- Instruction manual
Testing Method: Ferric Thiocyanate Chemistry
The K-6002 Iron in Brine Kit follows the Ferric Thiocyanate Method to determine iron concentrations. In an acidic solution, hydrogen peroxide oxidizes ferrous iron into ferric iron, which then reacts with ammonium thiocyanate, forming a red-orange color. The intensity of the color is directly proportional to the iron concentration.
Step-by-Step Testing Procedure
- Prepare the Sample
- Use a syringe to transfer 0.5 mL of the sample into the empty 50 mL cup.
- Add 1.0 mL of Acidifier Solution and 5 drops of Activator Solution.
- Swirl the cup and wait two minutes before filling it to the 50 mL mark with distilled water. Shake to mix.
- Fill the CHEMets Ampoule
- Insert the ampoule tip-first into the sample cup.
- Snap the tip— the ampoule will automatically fill with the treated sample.
- Mix and Read the Results
- Tilt the ampoule back and forth to mix.
- Within one minute, compare the ampoule color against the round comparator for low-range measurements.
- For higher concentrations, use the flat comparator and match the ampoule to the closest color standard.
For detailed instructions, refer to the manual provided in the kit.
