Iron is a naturally occurring element that can be found in almost all bodies of water and groundwater sources. Although iron is essential for the human body, too high a concentration in drinking water can lead to undesirable effects. Elevated iron levels cause a brownish discoloration of the water, a metallic taste and can lead to deposits in pipes and household appliances. <\/p>\n
The limit value for drinking water in Germany is 0.2 mg\/l<\/strong> (Drinking Water Ordinance). However, significantly higher values are measured in many wells and groundwater sources, which is why regular monitoring is essential. Monitoring the iron content is particularly important in water treatment, swimming pools and industrial processes. <\/p>\n Iron can enter the water from various sources: natural leaching from iron-containing rock layers, corrosion of iron pipes, industrial discharges or through iron-containing additives in water treatment. The oxidation of dissolved iron(II) to iron(III) leads to the characteristic rusty brown coloration and turbidity of the water.<\/p>\n The CALDUR\u00ae Iron LR Test Set – Photometric works according to the proven ferrozine method. Ferrozine forms an intense violet color complex with iron(II) ions, the intensity of which is proportional to the iron concentration. By adding two reagents to the water sample, any iron(III) present is first reduced to iron(II) in order to determine the total iron concentration.<\/p>\n After a reaction time of 4 minutes, the evaluation is carried out photometrically using the WINLAB Data Line photometer. This photometric method enables a particularly precise and objective measurement of the iron concentration. The extended measuring range of 0.2 to 2.0 mg\/l makes this test set ideal for applications where higher iron concentrations are expected. <\/p>\n Ideal for on-site use – saves time and enables immediate decisions<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Perfect for applications with higher iron concentrations<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Cost-efficient for regular checks in waterworks, industry and private wells<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Precise laboratory analyses with photometer for objective measurement results<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Clear instructions and simple measurement procedure<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Space-saving and ideal for mobile use<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" CALDUR\u00ae Iron LR Test Set – Photometric What is iron measured for?
