HI 3833

Phosphate

Test Kit

ISTR3833C 12/99 PRINTED IN ITALY

Phosphates are widely introduced into the environment from

such sources as agricultural fertilizers, cleaning and laun-

dering products, boiler water conditioners, and drinking

water treatment aids.

At high levels, phosphates stimulate the growth of photo-

synthetic organisms which may contribute to eutrophication

of lakes, rivers, and ponds. This makes it important to

monitor and control phosphate discharges into the environ-

ment.

Phosphates can be classified as ortho, condensed or organi-

cally bound. As with existing test kits on the market, the

Hanna Phosphate Test Kit will only determine ortho phos-

phate levels.

NOTE: mg/L is equivalent to ppm (parts per million).

Range 0 to 5 mg/L (ppm) PO

3–

Smallest Increment 1 mg/L (ppm) PO

3–

Analysis Method Colorimetric

Sample Size 10 mL

Number of Tests 100

Case Dimensions 220x145x55 mm (8.7x5.7x2.1")

Shipping Weight 160 g (6 oz.)

SIGNIFICANCE AND USE

Dear Customer,

Thank you for choosing a Hanna Product.

Please read this instruction manual carefully before using

the chemical test kit. It will provide you with the necessary

information for correct use of the kit.

Remove the chemical test kit from the packing material and

examine it carefully to make sure that no damage has

occurred during shipping. If there is any noticeable dam-

age, notify your Dealer or the nearest Hanna office

immediately.

Each kit is supplied with:

• 1 beaker (20 mL);

• 1 color comparator cube;

• HI 3833-0 powder reagent (100 pcs).

Note: Any damaged or defective item must be returned in

its original packing materials.

READ THE ENTIRE INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE KIT

• Remove the cap from the plastic

vessel. Rinse the plastic vessel with

water sample, fill it to 10 mL

mark.

• Add 1 packet of reagent HI 3833-0.

• Replace the cap and mix solution

until solids dissolve.

• Remove the cap and transfer the solution into the color

comparator cube. Let set for 1 minute.

• Determine which color matches the solution

in the vessel, and record the results as

mg/L (or ppm) PO

INSTRUCTIONSINSTRUCTIONS

INSTRUCTIONS

The orthosphosphate level in mg/L (or ppm) is determined

by a colorimetric method. Ammonium molybdate and potas-

sium antimonyl tartrate react in acid medium with

orthophosphate to form a phosphomolybdate complex, that

is reduced to intensely colored molybdenum blue by ascor-

bic acid. The color intensity of the solution determines the

phosphate concentration.
