MEASUREMENT PROCEDURE
• Select the
Free Chlorine
method using the procedure
described in the
Method Selection
section (see page 12).
• Fill the cuvette with 10 mL of unreacted sample (up to the
mark) and replace the cap.
• Place the cuvette into the holder and close the lid.
Free Chlorine
FREE CHLORINE
10 mL
• Remove the cuvette and add the content of one packet of HI 93716-0
DPD reagent. Replace the cap and shake gently for about 20 seconds to
dissolve most of the reagent.
• Reinsert the cuvette into the instrument.
• Press TIMER and the display will show the countdown prior to the
measurement or, alternatively, wait for 2 minutes and 30 seconds and
press READ. When the timer ends the meter will perform the reading.
• The instrument displays the results in mg/L of bromine.
INTERFERENCES
Interference may be caused by: Chlorine, Iodine, Ozone, Oxidized forms of Chromium and Manganese.
In case of water with hardness greater than 500 mg/L CaCO
3
, shake the sample for approximately 2
minutes after adding the reagent.
In case of water with alkalinity greater than 250 mg/L CaCO
3
or acidity greater than 150 mg/L CaCO
3
,
the color of the sample may develop only partially, or may rapidly fade. To resolve this, neutralize the
sample with diluted HCl or NaOH.
