Taylor Drop Test Kit, Neutralizing Amines, 1 drop = 2.5, 3.8, 4, 5 or 6 ppm

Taylor’s K-1682 is appropriate for measuring six neutralizing amines in high-purity steam and condensate. Neutralizing amines will prevent carbon dioxide corrosion in steam condensate systems. Morpholine, cyclohexylamine, diethylethanolamine, and triethanolamine are among the neutralizing amines used to elevate condensate pH.

Levels are determined with an acidbase titration. Note: This test is not specific to neutralizing amines. Rather, it is a sensitive alkalinity test. For this reason, carbonates or other alkaline materials from boiler carryover or leaks in a condenser or heat exchanger can interfere. Likewise, do not use this product to detect neutralizing amines outside a condensate system.
