Note: These recommendations apply to Total Chlorine back titrations, correspond to data
collection times typically under 5 minutes, and provide adequate data points on both sides of
the titration end point for proper analysis. Adjusting the volume increment will reduce the
data collection times and number of data points collected. For example, doubling the volume
increment will cut the data collection time and the number of points collected in half.
Method Performance
Estimated Detection Limit
Based on the USEPA procedure of estimating the method detection limit
(40 CFR Pt.136, App. B, 7-1-95), the estimated detection limit, using the procedure as
written, is 5.1 µg/L (0.0051 mg/L) chlorine.
Safety
Use good safety practices and laboratory techniques throughout the procedure. Consult
the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for specific reagent(s) information.
