The HI3830 is a colorimetric chemical test kit that determines the bromine concentration in samples within a 0 to 3 mg/L (ppm) Br2 range. The HI3830 is supplied with all of the necessary reagents and equipment to perform the analysis. The test kit contains enough reagents for perform approximately 60 tests.
Features at-a-glance
Complete setup
- All required materials are included with the test kit, such as the sample beaker, color comparison cube, and reagent dropper bottles.
High resolution
- Readings from 0 to 3 mg/L Br2 are determined to 0.6 mg/L resolution.
Replacement reagents available
- There is no need to buy a new kit when reagents are exhausted. The HI3830-060 reagent set can be ordered to replace the reagents supplied with the kit. This reagent set comes with 1 (30mL) dropper bottle of Reagent 1 and 1 (20mL) dropper bottle of Reagent 2.
Significance of Use
Bromine is less volatile and more stable than chlorine, making it a good choice as a disinfectant in pools, spas, and hot tubs, and a sanitizing agent in drinking water systems. Like chlorine, excess amounts of bromine in water can be dangerous to health and can cause eye irritation. Daily monitoring of bromine concentration prevents damage to equipment and contributes to the optimization and efficiency of the process while providing for increased user safety.
