Chloride No. 1 Tablets for Photometers

Overview

Chloride No. 1 tablets measure chloride, the conservative ion used to track salinity, seawater or brine intrusion and blowdown ratios. Because chloride is not removed by conventional treatment, it is also the tracer of choice when working out how many times a cooling water has been concentrated.

Key features

• Reads chloride, the tracer used for salinity and cycles of concentration
• One tablet per test, so there is no measuring or decanting of liquid reagents
• Foil-sealed strips keep unused tablets dry until they are needed
• Supplied in the standard 250-tablet pack, item code TbsHCRD1250

Applications

Cooling tower cycles of concentration, borehole and coastal supplies watching intrusion, reverse osmosis performance, potable water compliance, and effluent discharge monitoring.

Frequently asked questions

How is chloride used to work out cycles of concentration?
Chloride passes through a cooling system unchanged, so dividing the circulating chloride by the make-up chloride gives the number of times the water has been concentrated.

Photometer grade or rapid grade — which do I need?
Photometer grade is formulated for instruments that read a cuvette. If you work with a visual comparator or colour disc, ask us for the rapid-dissolving grade instead.

How should the tablets be stored?
Keep them sealed, cool and dry, and work through the oldest strip first. Once a strip is opened the tablets take up moisture, so use them promptly.
