R-9011 Silica
Use with K-9011 Silica CHEMETS Kit is used to determine Silica levels from 0-0.20 ppm.
The K-9011 Silica Kit was designed to accurately measure the levels of Silica in water from 0-0.20 ppm. K-9011 uses the Heteropoly Blue Method. CHEMetrics' test method determines molybdate reactive silica. The heteropoly blue chemistry is employed. Silica reacts with ammonium molybdate under acidic conditions to produce heteropoly acids, which are then reduced to form a blue color. Phosphate interferences are masked with the addition of citric acid. Results are expressed as ppm (mg/L) SiO2.
Silica (SiO2) is the oxide of silicon, the second most abundant element in the earth's crust. Silica is present as silicates in most natural waters. Typical concentrations lie between 1 and 30 mg/L. Higher concentrations may exist in brackish waters and brines. The silica content of water should be determined prior to its use in a variety of industrial applications. Silica can form a harmful scale on equipment and heat transfer surfaces, particularly steam turbine blades.
R-9011 Refill Package includes 30 tests and can be purchased separately.

-Neutralizer Solution
-Instruction Manual
How to Use:
- Fill to the 15 mL mark in the sample cup with your water.
- Add 10 drops of Activator Solution, cap the Sample Cup, and shake gently. Wait 4 minutes.
- Add 5 drops of Neutralizer Solution, cap the Sample Cup, and shake gently. Wait 1 minute.
- Snap the end of the ampoule in the water on the bottom/side of the 25 mL sample cup.
- Mix the contents of the ampoule by tipping back and forth a few times.
- Dry the vacu-vial and wait 2 minutes for color development.
- Place ampoule, flat end first, into the comparator. Hold comparator up to light source and determine best color match.
