Monitoring glycol concentrations in water systems is critical for ensuring the efficiency and safety of industrial, commercial, and HVAC applications. The R-4815 Glycol Refill is designed specifically to replenish the K-4815 CHEMets Visual Glycol Test Kit, allowing you to continue testing with accuracy and ease.
What Is the R-4815?
The R-4815 is a refill pack containing 30 self-filling reagent ampoules. It is intended for use with the K-4815 CHEMets kit, which measures glycol levels in water at two concentration ranges: 0–15 ppm and 0–150 ppm.
Note: This is a refill only. If you need the full test kit with comparators, activator solutions, and accessories, click here to purchase the K-4815 Test Kit.
Why Use CHEMetrics CHEMets Test Kits?
CHEMets test kits offer a fast, safe, and user-friendly approach to water testing. Their unique vacuum-sealed self-filling ampoule design allows for consistent and reliable colorimetric testing without the mess or complexity of traditional methods.
Key Benefits:
- Quick Results – Obtain glycol concentration readings in just a few minutes.
- Visual Clarity – Compare sample color directly against a calibrated comparator.
- Low Exposure Risk – Reagents are sealed inside the ampoules, minimizing direct chemical contact.
- Minimal Prep – No need for measuring spoons, dropper bottles, or complex procedures.
How It Works:
- Fill the sample cup provided in the test kit.
- Snap the tip of the R-4815 ampoule under the surface of the water sample.
- Allow the ampoule to fill and react.
- Compare the resulting color to the included comparator to determine glycol concentration.
Shelf Life and Storage:
The Nessler reagent used in glycol detection is stable, but its high alkalinity can degrade the ampoule glass over time, forming a precipitate that affects visual readings. For optimal results:
- Stock only what you’ll use in 5 months.
- If using Vacu-vials, limit to a 2-month supply.
- Refrigeration can significantly extend shelf life.
Ideal for:
- Cooling towers
- Chillers
- Closed-loop water systems
- Automotive coolant testing
- Environmental water monitoring
Conclusion:
Keeping your glycol monitoring program uninterrupted and reliable is as simple as having the R-4815 Glycol Refill on hand. With 30 replacement ampoules per pack and compatibility with the trusted K-4815 CHEMets kit, this refill ensures you’re always ready for quick, accurate testing.
