HI 93733
Ammonia Photometer with
470 nm LED
DESCRIPTION
Ammonia
is often an excellent indication of the presence of animal or plant
microbiological decay.
It
is tested in
fish farms (fresh and salt water tanks) due to the damaging
effects of its toxic nature.
Its
presence in rivers and reservoirs normally
points to agricultural and/or civil
pollutants.
Ammonia
is tested in lakes, rivers, portable water, boiler feed
water, sewage,
industrial and waste water.
Ion
Selective electrodes currently used for these measurements
require up to 5
minutes for a stable response time, normally last only 3 to 6 months.
On
the other hand, 3 or 4 Chemical Test Kits using
color cubes are needed to cover
the full range.
The
best increment with chemical test kits is never better than
0.1 mg/L and in
most cases, only 0.5 mg/L.
HANNA instruments
offers three instruments for low, medium and high
concentrations: HI 93700
with a range of 0.00 to 3.00 mg/L,
HI
93715 from 0.00 to 9.99 mg/L and
HI 93733 measuring from 0.0 to 50.0 mg/L
for applications with higher concentrations.
