Interferences
The ions listed in the table have been tested up to the given concentrations.
Cumulative effects and the influence of other ions have not been evaluated.
Higher amounts of iron, copper, and reducing or oxidizing agents will cause a
negative interference. Lead, mercury, and tin will cause a positive interference.
Note: Chromium concentrations above 20 mg/L produce result displayed within the measuring
ranges given above. In such cases it is recommended that an accuracy check be carried out
by dilution.
Note: Undissolved chromium is not determined with the determination of chromium VI. Total
Chromium can only be determined using the Total Chromium procedure.
