Carbon Dioxide Test Kit

Certain carbon dioxide levels are required in nature and in man's environment. Generally, lakes and rivers contain less than 10 mg/L * carbon dioxide, however stagnant or polluted water can generate large amounts due to organic or mineral decomposition. These results can make the water corrosive and toxic to aquatic life forms like fish. The monitoring of carbon dioxide levels is also critical in the man made environment. A certain amount of carbon dioxide is reintroduced into potable water during the final stages of the water softening process. In water systems, a delicate balance of carbon dioxide must be maintained to to prevent corrosion or encrustation of pipes and water tanks.

Carbon dioxide levels can be measured quickly and safely with the Carbon Dioxide Test Kit. This compact portable kit allows the user to use in field or laboratory.

Each test kit includes;

  • Phenolphthalein indicator, 1 bottle (10mL with dropper)

  • HI 3818-0, 1 bottle (120mL)

  • 2 calibrated vessels (10 and 50 mL)

  • 1 calibrated syringe
