sample, specified range: select subitem >>diff.
pH 4 – 8.
If required, add dilute
sodium hydroxide
solution or sulfuric acid
drop by drop to adjust
the pH.
Add 10 ml of the sample Reaction time:

Fill approx. 10 ml of
distilled water into a
24-mm cell (do not add
any reagents!), close
with the screw cap.
(Blank cell)
Insert the blank cell into
the cell compartment.
Align the mark on the
cell with that on the pho-
tometer. Press Zero .
Important:
Very high chlorine concentrations in the sample produce yellow-colored solu-
tions (measurement solution should be red) and false-low readings are yielded.
In such cases the sample must be diluted (plausibility check).
After each determination of total chlorine rinse the cell with sulfuric acid 25 % and
subsequently several times with distilled water.
For on-the-spot determinations where there are no suitable facilities for rinsing,
the cell contents can be transferred to a new 24-mm cell before the addition of
reagent Cl -3. Use this second cell only for the determination of total chlorine!

Quality assurance:
To check the measurement system (test reagents, measurement device, and
handling) a freshly prepared standard solution can be used (see section "Stan-
dard solutions").
