OXYGEN DEMAND, CHEMICAL LOW RANGE
SPECIFICATIONS
Range
0 to 150 mg/L COD
Resolution
1 mg/L
Accuracy
±5 mg/L or ±5 % of reading @ 25 °C, whichever is greater
Light Source
Tungsten lamp with narrow band interference filter @ 420 nm
Method
Adaptation of the USEPA 410.4 approved method for the COD determination on surface
waters and wastewaters. Oxidizable organic compounds reduce the dichromate ion
(orange) to the chromic ion (green). The amount of remaining dichromate is determined.

MEASUREMENT PROCEDURE
Before using the reagent kit carefully read all the instructions and the Material Safety Data Sheet
(MSDS). Pay particular attention to all warnings, cautions and notes. Failure to do so may result
in serious injury to the operator.
Reagent Blank Correction
: This method requires a reagent blank correction. A single blank vial may be used
more than once. The blank vial is stable for several months (room temperature). For most accurate measurement,
run a blank for each set of measurements and always use the same lot of reagents for blank and samples.
