This manual provides instructions for the Hach Hardness Total Reagent Set, Model 2437800. This set is designed for use with the HA-71A Test Kit to accurately determine total hardness in water samples using the drop count titration method. The reagents allow for measurements in the range of 0-20 mg/L (0-20 gpg) as CaCO3.

پيداوار جا اجزاء
The Hach Hardness Total Reagent Set (Model 2437800) includes the following solutions:
- Buffer Solution (Hardness 1): Used to adjust the pH of the sampلي.
- Hardness Indicator Solution (Hardness 2): Changes color in the presence of hardness ions.
- EDTA Titrant Solution (Hardness 3): Used to titrate the sample until the endpoint is reached.
Note: This product contains only the reagent solutions. Other components of the HA-71A Test Kit, such as sample cells, mixing bottles, or a titrator, are sold separately.
سيٽ اپ ۽ تياري
Before beginning the hardness test, ensure you have the following items ready:
- Hach Hardness Total Reagent Set (Model 2437800)
- HA-71A Test Kit components (e.g., sample cell, mixing bottle, titrator, if applicable)
- Clean, deionized water for rinsing
- پاڻي ايسample to be tested
- Appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE)
Sampلي جمع
Collect a representative water sample in a clean container. For best results, test samples as soon as possible after collection. Avoid collecting samples that contain excessive air bubbles or suspended solids.
Operating Instructions: Total Hardness (Drop Count Titration)
This procedure outlines the steps for determining total hardness using the Hach Hardness Total Reagent Set (Model 2437800) and the drop count titration method. Refer to your HA-71A Test Kit manual for specific sample volumes and equipment usage.
- ايس تيار ڪريوampاليزي: Measure the specified volume of water sample (e.g., 25 mL or 50 mL, as per HA-71A kit instructions) into a clean sample cell or mixing bottle.
- Add Buffer Solution: 2 ڦڙا شامل ڪريو Buffer Solution (Hardness 1) ايس ڏانهنample. Swirl gently to mix.
- Add Indicator Solution: 2 ڦڙا شامل ڪريو Hardness Indicator Solution (Hardness 2) ايس ڏانهنample. Swirl gently to mix. The sample should turn red if hardness is present. If the sample turns blue, it indicates zero hardness, and no further titration is needed.
- Titrate with EDTA: شامل ڪريو EDTA Titrant Solution (Hardness 3) drop by drop to the sample, swirling after each drop. Count the number of drops added.
- رنگ جي تبديلي ڏسو: Continue adding drops until the color of the sample changes from red to a clear blue. This is the endpoint of the titration.
- رڪارڊ نتيجا: The number of drops of EDTA Titrant Solution (Hardness 3) required to reach the blue endpoint directly corresponds to the total hardness of the sample. Refer to your HA-71A Test Kit instructions for the conversion factor (e.g., 1 drop = 1 mg/L or 1 gpg as CaCO3).
- Rinse Equipment: Thoroughly rinse all glassware and equipment with deionized water after each test.
For precise results, ensure consistent drop size and careful observation of the color change.
سار سنڀال ۽ اسٽوريج
- اسٽوريج: Store the reagent bottles tightly capped in their original packaging, in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Refer to the reagent labels for specific storage temperature ranges.
- شيلف زندگي: Observe the expiration dates printed on the reagent labels. Using expired reagents may lead to inaccurate results.
- سنڀالڻ: Avoid contamination of reagents. Do not return unused reagent to the original bottle.
- نيڪال: Dispose of used reagents and samples according to local environmental regulations. Consult the Safety Data Sheets (SDS) for specific disposal instructions.
مشڪلاتون
| مسئلو | ممڪن سبب | حل |
|---|---|---|
| Sample does not turn red after adding Hardness Indicator (Hardness 2). | Sample has zero hardness, or pH is incorrect. | If blue, hardness is zero. Ensure Buffer Solution (Hardness 1) was added correctly. Re-test with a known hard water sample to verify reagents. |
| Color change is unclear or difficult to determine. | Insufficient lighting, turbid sample, or expired reagents. | Perform test in good lighting. Filter turbid samples if possible. Check reagent expiration dates. Use a white background for better visibility. |
| Inconsistent results. | Inconsistent drop size, improper mixing, or contaminated glassware. | Ensure consistent drop delivery. Swirl gently after each drop. Thoroughly clean and rinse all glassware with deionized water before use. |
| Titration requires too many drops (high hardness). | Sample hardness exceeds the recommended range, or sample volume is too large. | For very hard water, consider diluting the sample with deionized water and multiplying the final result by the dilution factor, or use a smaller sample volume if your kit allows. |
