*WARNING: Reagents marked with a * are considered hazardous substances. To

view or print a Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for these reagents see MSDS

CD or our website. To obtain a printed copy, contact us by e-mail, phone or fax.

To order individual reagents or test kit components, use the specified code

number.

NOTE: Read the Direct Reading Titrator Instruction Manual before

proceeding. The Titrator is calibrated to resad the Alkalinity test result

directly in ppm Calcium Carbonate (CaCO

). Each minor division on the

Titrator scale equals 4 ppm.

PHENOLPHTHALEIN (P) ALKALINITY PROCEDURE 1. Fill test tube (0778) to 5 mL line with sample water. 2. Add 3 drops of *Phenolphthalein Indicator, 1% (2246). Cap and mix. If no red color develops, the P Alkalinity is zero; proceed to Step 6. Otherwise, proceed to Step 3. 3. Fill the Direct Reading Titrator (0382) with *Alkalinity Titration Reagent B (4493DR). Insert Titrator into center hole of test tube cap. 4. While gently swirling tube, slowly press plunger to titrate until red color disappears.

CALCULATION OF ALKALINITY RELATIONSHIPS Results obtained from Phenolphthalein and Total Alkalinity determinations offer a means for the stoichiometric classification of three principal forms of alkalinity present in many water supplies. Classification attributes the entire alkalinity to bicarbonate, carbonate and hydroxide; and assumes absence of other weak acids of inorganic or organic composition, such as silicic, phosphoric, and boric.
