Stabilize your water quality and prevent dangerous pH swings with the Hanna HI3811 Alkalinity Chemical Test Kit, a portable titration-based solution for environmental testing, pools, and industrial boilers in Pakistan. Alkalinity is the water's buffering capacity—its ability to resist changes in pH when acids are added. Low alkalinity makes water susceptible to rapid pH drops, while high alkalinity can cause scaling and cloudy water.

The HI3811 utilizes the Acid Titration method to measure alkalinity in two critical ranges: 0 to 100 mg/L (for low alkalinity waters) and 0 to 300 mg/L (for higher concentrations). It can determine both Phenolphthalein Alkalinity and Total Alkalinity (as CaCO₃), providing a complete picture of the carbonate, bicarbonate, and hydroxide content. The kit requires no batteries or calibration and includes a calibrated vessel, syringe, and reagents for approximately 110 tests, making it a reliable tool for maintaining water balance.

Frequently Asked Questions:

• Q: What is the difference between Phenolphthalein and Total Alkalinity?

  • A: Phenolphthalein Alkalinity measures strong bases (hydroxides and carbonates) present only when pH is above 8.3. Total Alkalinity measures all alkaline substances (including bicarbonates) down to pH 4.5. Measuring both helps identify the specific type of alkalinity present.

• Q: Why is this important for boilers?

  • A: In boilers, maintaining correct alkalinity is crucial to prevent corrosion (if too low) or caustic embrittlement and foaming (if too high). Regular testing ensures the system operates safely and efficiently.

• Q: Can I buy refill reagents?

  • A: Yes. Once the initial supply is used, you can purchase the HI3811-100 replacement reagent kit (110 tests) to continue using the original testing hardware.
