Alkalinity Test Kits Alkalinity (Total) - Titrets® Titration Cells Features of Titrets Technology Dependable, sealed single-use titrants Fast, easy procedure — no need to count drops No burettes or other equipment necessary Perform a titration ANYWHERE Methods The alkalinity of water is a measurement of its buffering capacity. Alkalinity of natural waters is typically a combination of bicarbonate, carbonate, and hydroxide ions. Sewage and wastewaters usually exhibit higher alkalinities due to the presence of silicates and phosphates. Alkalinity inhibits corrosion in boiler and cooling waters. Alkaline measurement is also used as a means of controlling water and wastewater treatment processes or the quality of various process waters.

USEPA Methods for Chemical Analysis of Water and Wastes, Method 310.1 (1983).CHEMetrics’ total water alkalinity test kits determine total or M alkalinity using a hydrochloric acid titrant and a bromocresol green/methyl red indicator. The end point of the titration occurs at pH 4.5. Results are expressed as ppm (mg/L) CaCO3. Options Acid Tirant with pH Indicator 10-100 ppm as CaCO3 (Total) Part#: K9810 Minimum Detection Limit: 10 ppm Increments:10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 18, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 50, 70, 100 ppm Kit comes in a cardboard box and contains everything needed to perform 30 tests: thirty ampoules with valve assemblies, Activator Solution, titrettor, 25 mL sample cup, and instructions. Acid Tirant with pH Indicator 50-500 ppm as CaCO3 (Total) Part#: K9815 Minimum Detection Limit: 50 ppm Increments:50, 55, 60, 65, 70, 75, 80, 90, 100, 125, 150, 175, 200, 250, 350, 500 ppm Kit comes in a cardboard box and contains everything needed to perform 30 total alkalinity titration tests: thirty ampoules with valve assemblies, Activator Solution, titrettor, 25 mL sample cup, and instructions. Acid Tirant with pH Indicator 100-1000 ppm as CaCO3 (Total) Part#: K9820 Minimum Detection Limit: 100 ppm Increments: 100, 110, 120, 130, 140, 150, 160, 180, 200, 250, 300, 350, 400, 500, 700, 1000 ppm Kit comes in a cardboard box and contains everything needed to perform 30 tests: thirty ampoules with valve assemblies, Activator Solution, titrettor, 25 mL sample cup, and instructions.
