Permanganate Value Tablets

Overview

Permanganate value tablets measure the permanganate value, a long-standing index of how much oxidisable organic matter a water carries. It is a quick way to compare raw waters and to judge the organic loading a treatment plant, or a chlorine dose, has to overcome.

Key features

• Indexes oxidisable organic load, which drives chlorine demand
• 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 TbsRPerm250

Frequently asked questions

What does a high permanganate value mean?
A heavy load of oxidisable organic matter, which raises chlorine demand, feeds disinfection by-product formation and generally makes the water harder to treat.

Which grade is this tablet?
This is the supplier’s TC grade of the reagent. If you need the photometer or rapid-dissolving grade of the same parameter, tell us which instrument you use and we will confirm the right one.

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.
