SP600 Spectrophotometer 01/2008

1.1 Methods

Hardness, total HR

with Tablet

20 – 500 mg/l CaCO

1. Fill a clean vial (24 mm Ø) with

1 ml of the water sample

and

9 ml of deionized water

, close the vial with the

cap tightly.

2. Place the vial in the sample chamber making sure that

the marks are aligned.

3. Press

ZERO

key.

4. Remove the vial from the sample chamber.

5. Add

one HARDCHECK P tablet

straight from the foil

to the water sample and crush the tablet using a clean

stirring rod.

6. Close the vial tightly with the cap and swirl gently

several times to dissolve the tablet.

7. Place the vial in the sample chamber making sure that

the marks are aligned.

8. Press

TEST

key.

Wait for a

reaction period of 5 minutes

After the reaction period is finished the measurement starts

automatically.

The result is shown in the display as total Hardness.
