Atlas Copco ZR 110

Symbol Explanation
pH Measured pH (at room temperature) of water sample
pH
s
pH at saturation
The pH
s
is calculated by using :
pH
s
= (9.3 + A + B) - (C + D)
Symbol Explanation
A Depends on the total solids concentration (mg/l)
B Depends on the highest cooling water temperature (˚C/˚F), (T=65 ˚C/149 ˚F)
C Depends on the calcium hardness (ppm CaCO
3
)
D
Depends on the HCO
3
-
concentration or M-alkalinity (mval/l)
The values of A, B, C and D can be found in the following table.
