Boiler water hardness test procedure.
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.
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.
Hard water is generally considered to be one which requires considerable amount of soap to produce foam or leather.
Alkalinity test in natural waters alkalinity is most commonly the result of bicarbonate and carbonate ions.
Hard water cause scale formation in boilers heaters and hot water pipes.
1 ph 2 alkalinity 3 chlorides 4 phosphates 5 total hardness.
Follow test procedures recommended by unitor chemical services water quality analyzer spectrapak 311.
To improve efficiency thus increasing boiler life.
Take test sample for.
To exercise careful control over boiler treatment chemicals.
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.
For economical operation of boiler.
