Boiler Water Hardness Test Procedure

All the boiler water test kits come with a standardized step by step test procedure for various boiler water tests.
Boiler water hardness test procedure. Follow test procedures recommended by unitor chemical services water quality analyzer spectrapak 311. Hard water cause scale formation in boilers heaters and hot water pipes. In treated waters alkalinity may also be contributed by hydroxide phosphate silicate and. A boiler that makes up 4000 gal day of water having 100 ppm of hardness has a potential of accumulating over 1000 pounds of scale per year.
Hard water is generally considered to be one which requires considerable amount of soap to produce foam or leather. To improve efficiency thus increasing boiler life. 1 ph 2 alkalinity 3 chlorides 4 phosphates 5 total hardness. For economical operation of boiler.
This method is used to calculate hardness based on concentration of divalent ions in water such as ca 2 mg 2 and sr 2 calculation of hardness based on concentration of divalent ions can be calculated by using following equation. Take test sample for. Calcium and magnesium chlorides. Let the water over flow from the sample bottle to prevent air being trapped inside the bottle and keeping the bottle air tight for testing.
