HI3820 | Hanna Acidity Test Kit 0-500 mg/L

Take control of water corrosiveness and quality with the Hanna HI3820 Acidity Chemical Test Kit, a comprehensive titration-based solution for measuring acidity in water, wastewater, and soil extracts in Pakistan. Acidity is the quantitative capacity of water to neutralize a base, often caused by mineral acids, organic acids, or carbon dioxide. Unlike simple pH measurements, measuring acidity helps determine the corrosive potential of water and pollution levels in industrial runoff.

The HI3820 uses the titration method with sodium hydroxide to determine acidity in two distinct ranges: 0 to 100 mg/L and 0 to 500 mg/L as Calcium Carbonate (CaCO₃). It allows for the determination of both Methyl Orange Acidity (strong mineral acids) and Phenolphthalein Acidity (Total Acidity including organic acids and CO₂). The kit is fully equipped for field use, containing calibrated vessels, a syringe, and all necessary reagents for approximately 110 tests, making it an essential tool for environmental monitoring and aquaculture.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: What is the difference between measuring pH and Acidity?

A: pH measures the intensity of the acid (hydrogen ion concentration) at a specific moment. Acidity measures the capacity of the water to neutralize a base (buffering capacity). You can have water with a low pH but low acidity, or neutral pH with high acidity due to weak acids like CO₂.

Q: What are Methyl Orange and Phenolphthalein acidity?

A: Methyl Orange Acidity measures strong acids (like industrial mineral acids) by titrating to pH 4.5 (color change from yellow to green/blue). Phenolphthalein Acidity measures the Total Acidity (including weak acids) by titrating to pH 8.3 (color change to pink).

Q: Can I get refill reagents?

A: Yes. Once the initial reagents are exhausted, you can purchase the HI3820-100 replacement reagent kit (100 tests) to continue using the original hardware.
