Measuring Principle
The FC500G free available chlorine analyzer (non-reagent type) is used for measuring
concentration of free available chlorine present in sample water, such as chlorine (Cl
2
)
hypochlorous acid (HClO), and hypochlorite ion (ClO
-
).
The measuring principle of this analyzer is analysis determination using the rotating electrode
polarographic method. Free available chlorine concentration is determined by measuring the
current (diffusion current) which flows when free available chlorine is subjected to electrolytic
reduction by applying a voltage (applied voltage) between the indicator electrode (rotating
electrode) and the counter electrode. The applied voltage is set in a region where concentration
polarization occurs (plateau region) in polarography. In the plateau region, the diffusion current
does not change even if the applied voltage changes.
In measurement practice, since the plateau region changes with free available chlorine
concentration, the applied voltage is compensated so that measurement can always be
performed in the plateau region. Also, since the diffusion current is affected by the sample water
temperature, temperature is compensated using a temperature sensor (Pt1000Ω) incorporated in
the counter electrode.
Figure 1.5 shows the block diagram for the FC500G free available chlorine analyzer (non-
reagent type) operation. The analyzer determines the free available chlorine concentration by
applying an applied voltage corresponding to the diffusion current between the indicator and
counter electrodes and by applying temperature compensation to the diffusion current.
