Water quality standard for chilled water
Water quality standard for hot water
(1) The item appellation and its definition and the unit belong to JIS K 0101.
(2) The “yes” in the chart show the factor relevant to corrosion or scale genesis.
(3) When high temperature (over 40
o
C);generally, using corrosive steel, materials which have no
protective coating against water, anticorrosive measure shall be done such as adding corrosion
prevention material, degasser and etc.
(4) Under the Cooling water system with hermetically-closed cooling tower; the closed-circuit
circulating water and its Makeup water are based on Hot water standard, spreading water and
its Makeup water are based on circulating Cooling water system.
(5) Supplied / replenished water needs to be tap water or industrial water or groundwater.
Deionized water, regeneration treated water and softening treated water are excluded.
(6) Upper15 items are shown as a typical factor for corrosion and/or scale genesis.
[Note 1] Each item of the standard values may cause a failure due to corrosion or scale and if any
item deviates from the standard value, it is assumed that corrosion or scale tends to be
caused, therefore, these should be periodically managed.
[Note 2] As the range of the water quality which may become usable if the water is processed
differs depending on the chemicals to be used, it is not given here. It is desirable to set
the appropriate water quality management values under the guidance of a water
processing specialist and periodically manage the water quality.
