Chromium No. 1 Tablets for Photometers

Overview

Chromium No. 1 tablets measure chromium, which appears in plating and tannery effluent and in cooling circuits still running older chromate inhibitors. Discharge consents treat it strictly, so the reading is usually a compliance figure rather than a process one.

Key features

• Reads chromium for effluent compliance and inhibitor control
• 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 TbsHChro1250

Applications

Frequently asked questions

Where does chromium in water usually come from?
Metal finishing and plating rinse water, tannery effluent, and older cooling water inhibitor programmes that used chromate.

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.
