MEASUREMENT PROCEDURE
• Select the
Calcium Hardness
method using the procedure
described in the
Method Selection
section (see page 12).
• Rinse a graduated beaker several times with unreacted
sample, before filling it to the 50 mL mark with the
sample.
• Add 0.5 mL of HI 93720A-0 Calcium indicator solution
and swirl to mix.
• Add 0.5 mL of HI 93720B-0 Alkali solution and swirl to
mix. Use this solution to rinse 2 cuvettes before filling
them up to the 10 mL mark.
