Used to measure the presence of the chloride ion (Cl-1) in chloride based salt solutions, such as sodium chloride, potassium chloride, calcium chloride or ammonium chloride. Vial of 50 Test Strips Color chart blocks at 0, 500, 1000 ppm Cl Comes in a moisture wicking vial with built in desiccant and a flip-top lid This test is NOT designed for the range of pool testing. It is designed for scientific education and industrial applications. The salinity test strips are used to measure the presence of the chloride ion (Cl-1) in chloride based salt solutions. Chloride salts include sodium chloride, potassium chloride, calcium chloride and ammonium chloride. Range of 0-1,000 ppm Cl. This strip can be used to educate students on the difference between “fresh” and “salt” water. It can also be useful in explaining the concepts of freezing point depression and boiling point elevation. In applications where the salt content is high the sample will require dilution with deionized water before running the test. In these cases, the test result will need to be corrected by using a dilution factor to arrive at the final result. Instruction: 1) Dip the strip into water for 1 second. 2) Wait 10 seconds, then compare the test strip to the color chart. *Important! Do not touch the test pad with your fingers.
NOTE: This test only measures chloride based salts, such as sodium chloride, potassium chloride, calcium chloride or ammonium chloride. This cannot be used to test non-chloride based salts.
