P/T Alkalinity Test
Water Supply & Rinses
1.Rinse and fill 25 mL sample tube (#9198G) to 25 mL mark with water to be tested.
NOTE: For results in grains per gallon (gpg), fill to 14.6 mL mark.
2.Add 3 drops R-0638G Phenolphthalein Indicator. Swirl to mix. Sample will turn pink
(Fig. 1) if P alkalinity is present—proceed to Step 3. If sample is colorless, proceed
to Step 4.
3.Add R-0687G Sulfuric Acid .12N dropwise, swirling and counting after each drop,
until color just changes from pink to colorless. Record drops as P reading.
Instr. #5013
4.Add 5 drops R-0645 Total Alkalinity Indicator. Swirl to mix. Sample will turn green
(Fig. 2).
5.Add R-0687G Sulfuric Acid .12N dropwise, swirling and counting after each drop,
until color changes from green to red (Fig. 3). Record total drops (Steps 3 & 5)
as T reading.
6.Multiply P reading by 10. Record as parts per million (ppm) P alkalinity as
calcium carbonate. Multiply T reading by 10. Record as ppm T alkalinity as
calcium carbonate.

PROCEDURE: CAREFULLY READ AND FOLLOW PRECAUTIONS ON REAGENT LABELS. KEEP REAGENTS AWAY FROM CHILDREN. Working Bleach Solution (less than 5% chlorine) 1.
Using a 3 mL pipet (#4078), add 5 mL (2 x 2.5 mL)
water to be tested to 25 mL sample tube (#9198).
Dilute to 10 mL mark with distilled, deionized, or
tap water. Swirl to mix.
2.
Using a 1.0 mL pipet (#4030), add 1 dropperful (as
much as can be drawn up by means of the bulb)
R‐0664 Bleach Reagent #1. Swirl to mix.
3.
Using a 2 g dipper (#4026), add 1 level dipper
R‐0665S Bleach Reagent #2. Swirl until dissolved.
Sample will turn brown if chlorine is present.
4.
Add R‐0666 Bleach Reagent #3 dropwise, swirling and
counting after each drop, until color changes from
brown to colorless. Always hold bottle in vertical
position.
5.
Multiply drops of R‐0666 Bleach Reagent #3 by 0.05.
Record as percent (%) available chlorine.
Concentrated Bleach Solution (5% to 15% chlorine) 1.
Using a 3 mL pipet (#4078), add 0.5 mL concentrated
bleach solution to 25 mL sample tube (#9198).
Dilute to 10 mL mark with distilled, deionized, or
tap water. Swirl to mix.
2.
Using a 1.0 mL pipet (#4030), add 1 dropperful (as
much as can be drawn up by means of the bulb)
R‐0664 Bleach Reagent #1. Swirl to mix.
3.
Using a 2 g dipper (#4026), add 2 level dippers
R‐0665S Bleach Reagent #2. Swirl until dissolved.
Sample will turn brown if chlorine is present.
4.
Add R‐0666 Bleach Reagent #3 dropwise, swirling and
counting after each drop, until color changes from brown to colorless. Always hold bottle in vertical position. 5.
Multiply drops of R‐0666 Bleach Reagent #3 by 0.5.
Record as percent (%) available chlorine.
NOTE: In this test chlorine concentration is determined as grams per 100 mL, which is approximately equal to percent in weak solutions. However, in concentrated solutions the density may be as high as 1.3, in which case 15% as determined here would be 11.5% by weight. © 2016 Taylor Technologies, Inc. • All Rights Reserved • View Privacy Policy
