Silicate (SiO\u2082) is a naturally occurring water constituent that comes from the dissolution of rocks and minerals. Silicate is particularly critical in boiler water technology<\/strong>, as it can form glass-like deposits (silicate scale) at high temperatures and pressures, which are extremely difficult to remove. <\/p>\n In high-pressure boilers, the silicate content must be kept particularly low, as even low concentrations can lead to deposits on turbine blades. Typical limit values are 0.02-0.5 mg\/l SiO\u2082 depending on the operating pressure. <\/p>\n Silicate control is also important in drinking water treatment and in the production of ultrapure water (e.g. for the semiconductor industry).<\/p>\n The CALDUR\u00ae Silicate Test Set – Photometric is based on the molybdate method. After adding three reagents to the water sample, a yellow silicomolybdate complex is formed within 8 minutes, the concentration of which is precisely determined using the WINLAB Data Line photometer. <\/p>\n Covers the range from boiler water to raw water<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Economical for regular checks<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Objective, reproducible measurement results with the WINLAB Data Line<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Specific for dissolved silicate<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" CALDUR\u00ae Silicate Test Set – Photometric What is silicate measured for?
