DPD 3 Tablets for Total Chlorine

What are DPD 3 Tablets?

DPD 3 tablets measure total chlorine in water. They contain N,N-diethyl-p-phenylenediamine, which reacts with chlorine, producing a color change. This change helps detect and quantify total chlorine in the sample, making these tablets essential for water quality testing.

Key features of DPD tablets:

• Chemical composition: DPD compound with stabilizers for consistent performance.
• Dissolution: Tablets fully dissolve for efficient reactions.
• Accuracy: Sensitive colorimetric reactions ensure reliable measurements.
• Portability: Easy to transport and store, useful in labs and fieldwork.

Advantages:

• Minimal preparation needed.
• Easy to use with simple procedures.
• Reliable for professionals and hobbyists.

How to Use Total Chlorine Tablets

To use DPD tablets accurately:

1. Gather materials: Use a clean container, colorimeter, and DPD tablets.
2. Collect water sample: Take samples from different areas for a larger body of water. Measure the correct volume (usually 10 mL).
3. Add the tablet: Dissolve one tablet per 10 mL of water. Let the color develop for a few minutes.
4. Compare results: Match the color to the chart in your test kit.
5. Ensure safety: Wear gloves and properly dispose of waste.

These simple steps ensure accurate results for total chlorine testing in various environments.
