What is the p-value measured for?

The p-value (also acid capacity up to pH 8.2 or m-value/alkalinity) describes the concentration of hydroxide and carbonate ions in the water. It is a decisive parameter in boiler water and cooling water chemistry:

• Boiler water: The p-value is a key parameter for correct alkalization. Too low values lead to corrosion, too high values can cause foaming and overflow problems.
• Steam and condensate systems: Monitoring the p-value ensures that the alkalization remains in the optimum range.
• Cooling water systems: The p-value influences the corrosion and limescale separation behavior.
• Industrial process water: control of water chemistry in closed circuits.

How does the Reagent work?

The P25 Reagents are liquid color reagents for fully automated p-value determination with the SYCON P analyzer. The device automatically takes a water sample, precisely doses the Reagent and measures the resulting coloration photometrically.

Two measuring ranges are available: P25-5 for the low range (0.2-5.0 mmol/l) and P25-20 for higher concentrations (0.8-20.0 mmol/l).
