Method 10014
Pour-Thru Cell
Scope and Application:
industrial wastewater; USEPA accepted for reporting for wastewater analysis**
* Adapted from Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Wastewater.
** U.S. Patent 5,362,650 covers the procedure. U.S. Patent 5,549,816 covers the OriFlo™ Filtration System.
Tips and Techniques
• Analyze samples immediately. Chlorine is not stable in an aqueous solution.
• A reagent blank value for a combined lot of indicator/buffer reagent solutions should be determined at least once a day. See
Determining the Reagent Blank Value on page 4. To store the reagent blank value, see Creating a User Program Based on a
Hach Program in the instrument manual.
• The reagent blank value is normally less than 5 µg/L. If the value is greater than 5 µg/L, an interfering substance may be present
in the blanking water or the DPD Indicator may be degrading. If there is doubt about the reagents, repeat the reagent blank
determination using chlorine-demand-free water for the sample. Blanks up to 5 µg/L may be used.
• Use a new filter for each test. Using an unspecified filter may give low analysis results or inability to filter the required volume.
• The ampules contain more than 1.0 mL of solution for ease of transfer. Discard excess reagent in the ampule.
• Install the Pour-Thru Cell into the adapter so that the long pathlength (1-in./25-mm) is parallel to the front of the instrument.
