Improved Water Analysis Kit
Abstract
An Improved Water Test Kit which is smaller in size and simpler to use and stock than Water Quality Control Set, FSN 6630-262-7288, Standard B, has been developed. The kit has a minimum of glassware, weights 4 1/2 pounds, measures 9 x 6 x 6 inches and uses techniques completely different than former methods. Eliminated is the need of preparing reagents, performing titrations and other tedious measurements. Most of the tests are conducted by dipping a paper or plastic strip into the water sample and reading the height of a column or comparing the color obtained to a chart. Water samples can be examined for pH, acidity, alkalinity, chlorine residual, chlorine demand, chloride, sulfate, turbidity and coagulation characteristics. Each kit contains enough material to examine at least 50 water samples for each of the above characteristics before requiring refill. The simplicity of the kit allows personnel with little or no training to use it effectively.
