Summary of Method
Chlorine in the sample as hypochlorous acid or hypochlorite ion
(free chlorine or free available chlorine) immediately reacts with
DPD (N,N-diethyl-p-phenylenediamine) indicator to form a
magenta color which is proportional to the chlorine
concentration.
Interfering Substance
Interference Level and Treatment
Acidity
Greater than 150 mg/L CaCO
3
. May not develop full color or color may fade
instantly. Neutralize to pH 6-7 with 1 N sodium hydroxide. Determine
amount to be added on separate sample aliquot, then add the same amount to
the sample being tested. Correct for volume addition (See
Section 1,
Correct-
ing for Volume Additions
).
Alkalinity
Greater than 250 mg/L CaCO
3
. May not develop full color or color may fade
instantly. Neutralize to pH 6-7 with 1 N sulfuric acid. Determine amount to
be added on separate sample aliquot, then add the same amount to the sample
being tested. Correct for
volume addition (See
Section 1
,
Correcting for Volume Additions
).
Bromine
Interferes at all levels
Chlorine Dioxide
Interferes at all levels
Chloramines, organic
May interfere
Hardness
No effect at less than 1,000 mg/L as CaCO

Iodine
Interferes at all levels
Manganese, Oxidized
(Mn

)
or
Chromium , Oxidized (Cr

)
1.
Adjust sample pH to 6-7.
2.
Add 3 drops potassium iodide (30 g/L) to a 25-mL sample.
3.
Mix and wait one minute.
4.
Add 3 drops sodium arsenite (5 g/L) and mix.
5.
Analyze 10 mL of the treated sample as described in the procedure.
6.
Subtract the result from this test from the original analysis to obtain the cor-
rect chlorine concentration.
Monochloramine
Causes a gradual drift to higher readings. When read within 1 minute after
reagent addition, 3 mg/L monochloramine causes less than a 0.1 mg/L increase
in the reading.
Ozone
Interferes at all levels
Peroxides
May interfere
Extreme sample pH and highly
buffered samples
Adjust to pH 6-7. See
