Scaling Potential - Primary Measurement
Above the given limits, scaling is likely to occur. Scaling indexes should be calculated using the limit
pH Calcium
Hardness Method
Index Limits for Probable Scaling Situations (Operation outside these limits is not recommended)
Scaling indexes should be calculated at 150°F operation for direct use and HWG applications, and at 90°F for indirect HX use. A monitoring
plan should be implemented.
