ACIDITY TEST KITS

  • Acidity of an aqueous solution contributes to corrosivness and influences the rates of chemical reactions as well as biological processes. Acidity can be caused by strong and weak acids as well as hydrolyzing salts (aluminum and iron sulfates). Acidity is measured and monitored in fish farming, soil testing, environmental testing, treated wastewater discharge and in horticulture.

ALKALINITY TEST KITS

  • This parameter is important in determination of the corrosive properties of water, caused by carbonates, bicarbonates as well as dissolved salts. Testing alkalinity is important in the treatment of drinking water, waste water, pools, in heating and cooling food and beverage cleaning systems, soil and environmental testing as well as in agriculture, farming and fish farming.

HI 38074 BORON TEST KIT

  • Boron is one of the micronutrients essential for plant growth. It may be present naturally in water or may find its way into a waterway through industrial waste effluents. Boron in excess of 2.0 mg/L in irrigation water is detrimental to many plants, but some plants may even be affected adversely by concentrations lower than 1.0 mg/L. Our kit having an operational range from 0 to 5 mg/L, with a resolution of 0.2 mg/L, is particularly suitable for this application. Since knowlege of pH level is crucial for a correct measurement of the amount of boron, the kit is equipped with a Checker® pocket sized pH meter.

  • Chloride is found in concentrations that vary from 1 to 3 mg/L (ppm) in rain water and reach up to 20,000 mg/L in sea water. In drinking water, its concentration must be kept low because above 250 mg/L (ppm) it alters the taste. In other applications, the chloride level is controlled to prevent scaling and corrosion. When found in higher concentrations, chloride can corrode stainless steel and be dangerous to vegetation and animals.

CHLORINE TEST KITS

  • Chlorine is the most commonly used water disinfectant in applications that vary from treatment of drinking water and wastewater, pool and spa sanitization, to food processing and sterilization. Chlorine present in water binds with bacteria, leaving only a part of the original quantity (free chlorine) to continue its disinfecting action. If the free chlorine level is improper with respect to pH, water will have an unpleasant taste and odor and the disinfecting potential of the chlorine will be diminished. Free chlorine reacts with ammonium ions and organic compounds to form chlorine compounds resulting in diminished disinfecting capabilities compared with free chlorine. Chlorine compounds together with chloramines form combined chlorine. Combined chlorine and free chlorine together result in total chlorine. While free chlorine has a much higher disinfectant potential, combined chlorine has a higher stabilty and a lesser volatility.

HI 38083
Gypsum Requirement & Sodium Exchange

  • Alkaline soils are characterized by a low electrical conductivity (EC), high exchangeable sodium percentage (ESP) and presence of carbonate and bicarbonate sodium salts. High alkalinity hinders plant growth since it gives rise to an incomplete solubilization of necessary nutrients such as iron, copper and manganese. Chlorosis, for instance, is a typical disease of leaves due to iron deficiency. It is possible to correct soil alkalinity by adding a proper compound (generally gypsum) that removes sodium and decreases the pH. The exact quantity of gypsum needed for correction can be calculated with this Hanna kit. The kit also gives suggestions on when it is better to perform the gypsum requirement test and some indications on how to perform a good soil sampling procedure.

HARDNESS TEST KITS

  • Hardness in water is mainly due to the presence of calcium and magnesium ions. Calcium and magnesium also contribute to the presence of total hardness. Monitoring and controlling hardness is fundamental in order to prevent scaling and corrosion. Water is categorized as very soft (0-70 mg/L), soft (70-150), slightly hard (150-250), moderately hard (250-320), hard (320-420) and very hard (420 and above) according to the hardness scale. Hanna’s kits cover all of these ranges.

IODINE TEST KITS

  • The disinfectant properties of iodine have led to its use as an alternative to chlorine and bromine in drinking water and swimming pool applications. Swimming pool water treated with iodine does not irritate the human eye and provides a more stable disinfecting action. However, its toxic and corrosive properties and low solubility in water has limited a more widespread application.

IRON TEST KITS

  • Iron is a common inorganic constituent in ground water. It is present as dissolved ions in solutions or as a component of organic complexes. Whether iron remains dissolved and harmless or oxidizes and precipitates in plumbing systems, depends on the pH and ORP values of the water. A level of 0.3 mg/L is the maximum level of iron for potable water. Above this concentration, iron causes unpleasant alteration in taste and color. In domestic water, iron can stain laundry, damage kitchenware and favor the growth of certain bacteria. Iron is also an indicator of corrosion in industrial plants or in water cooling and heating systems. Moreover, iron is commonly monitored in mining wastewater to avoid environmental contamination.

MANGANESE TEST KITS
{short description of image}
  • Manganese is not present in natural waters but it is found in various salt and minerals frequently associated with Iron compounds. Manganese salts are used as fertilizer additives in ferroalloys (steel manufacturing) and in nonferrous alloys as it improves their corrosion resistance and hardness. Manganese, like Iron, has been limited in drinking water since it causes tenacious stains to laundry and because it produces objectionable tastes in beverages. The color related aesthetic objective for Manganese in drinking water is 0.05 mg/L. Manganese is commonly found in domestic wastewater, industrial effluents and receiving steams when anaerobic decay processes in sediments is occurring.

When the concentration of ammonia is high, it can alter the smell and taste of water. In industrial applications, high concentrations of ammonia cause corrosion in pipes. Ammonia is also monitored in aquariums and fish farming applications because of its toxicity to fish. Hanna’s kits allow you to test ammonia in fresh and in salt water using the Nessler method.

NITROGEN (NITRATE) TEST KITS

  • Nitrate is an essential nutrient for plants and must be monitored in order to mantain proper health and optimum yield. However, excessive levels are detrimental and can even be toxic, effectively “burning” the plants. Traces of nitrate can be found in natural surface water, while underground water contains high concentrations, which can represent a problem with fish farming. Nitrate may also be found in high concentrations in industrial discharges and waste water. In drinking water, nitrate level must be monitored because of its toxic nature. Domestic water supplies should not contain nitrate in excess of 45 mg/L.

NITROGEN (NITRITE) TEST KITS

  • Nitrite is considered the most diffused chemical pollutant. It is produced during ammonia oxidation or it originates from agricultural, urban and industrial waste. In fresh water aquaculture and aquariums, nitrite is highly toxic to fish, starving the blood of oxygen, effectively suffocating the fish. Nitrite should be kept at very low concentrations (below 0.1 mg/L), since it is carcenogenic and dangerous to humans and animals. At the same time, in applications such as cooling towers, it is kept at high concentrations, because of its capacity to prevent corrosion.
