Low Range COD Photometer, (0-150 ppm) Range
SAMs (Single Analyte Meters): Value and Convenience
Single Analyte Meters (SAMs) provide unprecedented economy, simplicity, and accuracy for dedicated photometers. SAMs provide results equivalent to other meters and probes costing much more.
The Dichromate Reactor Digestion Method
CHEMetrics offers two dichromate reactor digestion methods for fast, easy, safe determinations of low-, mid-, and high-range COD levels in wastewater: the USEPA-approved Method, and a mercury-free method. The products using the USEPA-approved method contain mercuric sulfate in the reagent to eliminate chloride interferences. The more readily disposable mercury-free product line is applicable when chloride interference is not a concern and USEPA reporting is not required. CHEMetrics' leakproof reagent vials contain premeasured solutions of sulfuric acid and potassium dichromate. To perform the COD determination, the analyst simply removes the Teflon-lined screw cap from the vial, adds sample to the vial, and replaces the cap. The vial is then heated for two hours at 150°C in a standard digestor block. Once digestion is completed, results are obtained using any photometer that accepts 16-mm diameter cells. CHEMetrics COD vials can be directly used in our V-2000 multi-analyte photometer, CHEMetrics' single analyte COD photometers, as well as in Hach1 spectrophotometers. Built-in Hach COD methods and calibrations can be used without the need for a new calibration. A generic calibration table is included within the CHEMetrics kit for use with other spectrophotometers
