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). The CALDUR\u00ae Iron LRS test set is specially designed for the highly sensitive measurement of very low iron concentrations. With a detection limit of just 0.01 mg\/l, it is ideal for monitoring drinking water, ultrapure water and applications where even the smallest traces of iron need to be detected precisely. <\/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. Precise photometric monitoring of the lowest iron concentrations is particularly important in drinking water treatment, in the food industry and in sensitive processes. <\/p>\n The CALDUR\u00ae Iron LRS Test Set – Photometric works according to the proven ferrozine method with optimized sensitivity. Ferrozine forms an intense violet color complex with iron(II) ions, the intensity of which is proportional to the iron concentration. The special reagent formulation enables the detection of iron concentrations as low as 0.01 mg\/l. <\/p>\n After a reaction time of 5 minutes, the WINLAB Data Line photometer is used for precise evaluation. The photometer measures the absorbance of the colored solution and automatically calculates the exact iron concentration. This method offers maximum accuracy and reproducibility for demanding laboratory applications and quality controls. <\/p>\n Ideal for drinking water, ultrapure water and sensitive processes<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Objective results without subjective color assessment<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Cost-efficient for regular inspections in waterworks and industry<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Fewer work steps for faster results<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Efficient for routine checks and quality assurance<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Perfect for quality management systems and logging<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" CALDUR\u00ae Iron LRS Test Set – Photometric What is iron measured for?
