Boiler Water Test Kits

All industries, particularly power plants, technical institutions, chemical corporations, and food and beverage companies should routinely check their boiler and cooling water systems to avoid corrosion and malfunction. This is to ensure smooth and continuous business operations.

Water test kits are developed to aid experts like scientists, facilities managers, engineers, environmental health specialists, and water treatment professionals to perform a range of water quality analysis procedures quickly and accurately. Testing can be done by the company’s laboratory,  subcontractors, or other third party providers. There are different kinds of water kits that perform specific tests like replacement reagents, drop test utilization, bacteria and fungi testers, comparator reagents, hardness indicators, and electronic meters.

To maximize time and energy however, there is a water tester that does most of the tests. It contains:
  • Alkalinity indicator, P&T; 1 drop = 10 ppm as CaCO3/25 ml
  • Hardness indicator, total & calcium; 1 drop = 2 or 10 ppm as CaCO3/25 ml
  • Orthophosphate = 30 or 60 ppm as PO4
  • Sulfite; 1 drop = 2 or 10 ppm as Na2SO3/25 ml
  • Oakton pH tester 30 range – 1.0 to 15.0 pH resolution; 0.01 pH Oakton
  • C Tester 11 dual range 0 to 2,000 μS; 0 to 20 mS

  1. Hi all,

    Boiler water and boiler feedwater require careful test monitoring to ensure the correct water conditions are maintained at all times. Failure to maintain correct treatment programs can reduce efficiency, lead to scale forming or corrosive water conditions and reduced steam purity. Thanks a lot......
