Measuring Flow
Total production of a system is the product of the concentration of the solution (determined
above) and the volumetric flow of the solution over a period of time. Low concentrations of
oxidant are often erroneously associated with low production. In order to calculate the total
production for the system, the flow rate must also be determined and adjusted if necessary.
1. Remove the tubing that feeds the oxidant tank and insert into the graduated cylinder for
exactly 30 seconds.
2. Record the number of milliliters (mL) collected in the 30 second time period.
3. Assign the number recorded in step 2 to F in the equation below to determine the flow of
solution (Y) in GPH:
Calculating Total Chlorine Production
Chlorine production is a function of concentration and flow. To calculate daily chlorine
production (Z) in lbs./day:
Where the sample solution variables are:
X = mg/L chlorine concentration
Y = gph flow
