HI-3818
In nature, lakes and rivers contain carbon dioxide in concentrations smaller than 10 mg/L (or ppm), however, stagnant or contaminated water can contain higher concentrations because of organic decomposition. This creates a problem for fish farming applications.
Carbon Dioxide as CO2 test kit
Carbon dioxide can be measured quickly and safely with the HI 3818 carbon dioxide test kit. This compact, portable kit allows the user the option of field or laboratory use. The design makes the kit easy to handle and, except for the Carbon Dioxide reagent, practically prevents accidental injury or damage due to spills.
Carbon dioxide (as carbonic acid) in the water sample is neutralised with a dilute sodium-hydroxide solution to a pH of 8.3 using a phenolphthalein indicator. This process converts carbonic acid to sodium bicarbonate.
Kit supplied with
10ml phenolphthalein indicator, 120ml carbon dioxide reagent, 10 ml calibrated vessel, 50ml calibrated vessel and calibrated syringe.
This test kits provides approximately 110 tests.
