The Alkalinity Tester is accurate, affordable, lightweight, yet robust for field use. The tester line of photometers is handy and can be easily transported anywhere you need them to go. The one-button operation makes it simple to use getting immediate and accurate results.
No more struggling to determine colours with Test Kits, our handheld photometers take the hassle out of matching to a colour chart, providing a direct and precise result.
The AK44 Alkalinity Tester indicates the amount of alkaline substances (calcium and magnesium carbonates, bicarbonates chlorides and sulphates) contained in water and it refers to the capacity of water to neutralize acids. An adequate degree of alkalinity ensures that the pH can be maintained practically constant if small amounts of acid or base are added. Alkalinity is important in drinking water applications, where alkalinity values determine which chemicals are used and in what quantities.
Applications
