Taylor Drop Test Kit, Chelant (total), Complexometric, 1 drop = 2 or 5 ppm EDTA
Chelants have many applications in industrial water testing because of their ability to tie up metal ions in solution. In water treatment programs for boilers or ultrapure water systems, for instance, EDTA (ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid) or NTA (nitrilotriacetic acid) can be used in combination with other sequestering agents to prevent scaling caused by calcium, magnesium, iron, and other metals.
These field-friendly, drop-count titration tests allow you to quickly and accurately measure the “free” residual (uncomplexed) chelant in the system; that is, what is left over after all metals have been bound up. One kit, the K-1544, will also determine total (complexed and uncomplexed) chelant.
Turbid samples should be filtered prior to performing these tests to remove suspended solids such as oxides. A funnel and filter paper are included in the kits for this purpose. Separately, we offer a syringe filtration system (#9803) and 2.5 µm filter discs (#6257) to speed up the process.
Extremely high hardness can cause interference with these chelant tests, making them inappropriate for use in cooling towers. Other chelants will cause positive interference in all tests.
