Procedure for Cl₂ measurement
Before you start take into account the following:
- It is required to analyze the sample instantly after collection.
- It is recommended to use sunlight or lamp as the source of light to find the color match with the color comparator box.
- It is necessary to analyze free chlorine testing results instantly after the addition of the reagent to prevent monochloramine interference.
Test procedure - free or total chlorine
In order to conduct free and total chlorine analysis in the range of 0.02 - 0.68 mg/L Cl₂, place the long-path adapter in the color comparator box. After that pour the collected sample into the tube to the top line. Install the tube into the left opening of the color comparator box. Mix 25 mL of the sample and the content of the DPD Free or Total Chlorine Powder Pillow in the bottle. Analyze the testing results within 1 minute for free chlorine evaluation. Wait 3 minutes and read the testing results within 6 minutes for total chlorine determination. Fill the second tube to the top line with the pretreated sample. Insert the second tube into the color comparator box. Set the color comparator box below the source of light, turn the color disc to identify the color match and analyze testing results. Read the value in the scale window. Divide the value by 5 to get the result in mg/L.
Note: If the low range test result is more than the maximum limit, use the mid range test procedure with a fresh sample. See the manual for determining free or total chlorine in the range 0-3.4 mg/l Cl2 using the CN-70 test kit.
