Hanna Instruments Carbon Dioxide Chemical Test kit

This chemical test kit measures carbon dioxide by titration with sodium hydroxide. It is supplied complete with all of the reagents and equipment necessary to perform approximately 100 tests.

• Complete setup all required materials are included with the test kit, such as two sample beakers, reagent bottles, and calibrated syringe
• Readings from 0 to 10 mg/L CO₂ are determined to 0.1 mg/L resolution
• Readings from 0 to 50 mg/L CO₂ are determined to 0.5 mg/L resolution
• Readings from 0 to 100 mg/L CO₂ are determined to 1 mg/L resolution

Lakes and rivers naturally contain carbon dioxide concentrations less than 10 mg/L. However, stagnant or polluted water can generate large amounts of carbon dioxide due to organic or mineral decomposition. Higher amounts of carbon dioxide can make the water corrosive and toxic to aquatic organisms. Monitoring carbon dioxide levels is also critical in the manmade environment. Carbon dioxide is added to drinking water during the final stages of the purification process. In water softening systems, a delicate balance of carbon dioxide must be maintained to prevent corrosion or encrustation of pipes and storage tanks.
