The product is used to measure the iron content in water, with a measurement range of 0.03-5.00 mg/L (ppm). The test is fast and easy to use.
This document is the instruction manual for the Hanna Instruments HI 38040 Iron Medium Range Test Kit. The kit includes reagents, a checker disc, glass vials, and a pipette for determining iron concentration in water samples via a colorimetric method. It is designed for a range of 0 to 5.0 mg/L (ppm) with a smallest increment of 0.1 mg/L.
| Range | 0 to 5.0 mg/L (ppm) as Fe |
|---|---|
| Smallest Increment | 0.1 mg/L (ppm) Fe |
| Number of Tests | 100 |
Iron can stain laundry and give water a bittersweet taste, though it is generally more of a nuisance than a hazard.
The kit determines total iron levels by converting ferric ions to ferrous ions, which then complex with phenanthroline to form an orange colored solution.
