LaMotte P and T Total Alkalinity Test Kit
 

KIT OVERVIEW

The LaMotte 3467 measures both P and T Total Alkalinity.  In cleaning applications, P alkalinity is sometime referred to as active alkalinity.  The difference between the P reading and the T reading is "inactive" alkalinity.

PHENOLPHTHALEIN (P) ALKALINITY PROCEDURE:

  1. Fill test tube (0778) to 5 mL line with sample water

  2. Add two drops of *Alkalinity Indicator # 1 (3870). Cap and mix.  If no red color develops, P alkalinity is zero.  If red, proceed to Step 3

  3. Fill Direct Reading Titrator with *Alkalinity Reagent B (4493). Insert Titrator in center hole of test tube cap

  4. While gently swirling tube, slowly depress plunger until red color disappears. Record test result where plunger tip meets titrator scale. Record as P Alkalinity in ppm CaCO3.  EXAMPLE: Plunger tip is 3 minor divisions below 80 line. The test result is 80 + (3 x 4) = 92 ppm, since each division is equal to 4 ppm

  5. If plunger tip reaches the bottom line on the titrator scale (200ppm) before the endpoint color change occurs, refill Titrator and continue titration. When recording test result, include original amount of reagent titrated (200 ppm).

NOTE: Do not move the titrator plunger after P Alkalinity endpoint has been obtained.

TOTAL (T) ALKALINITY PROCEDURE:

  1. Without moving plunger, remove Titrator and test tube cap from test tube containing sample from Step 4

  2. Add two drops Alkalinity Indicator #2. Cap and swirl to mix. A blue color will appear. Insert Titrator in center hole of test tube cap

  3. While gently swirling tube, slowly depress plunger until blue color changes to green. Record test result as T Alkalinity in ppm CaCO3. Include total amount of titration reagent added. (See Step 5)

  4. If only Total Alkalinity is to be tested, perform Steps 1, 7 and 8 only, using a full titrator for Step 8.
