Technical Details & Test Data

Normal Control

Dropping Bottle Method (Test Kit available from Chautauqua Chemicals Co. – Part No: 4195)

  • Take a sample of the MC 660 LF solution from the bath with a beaker and allow to cool to room temperature.
  • Measure out 5 mL using the graduated sample bottle provided in the test kit.
  • Add 3 drops phenolphthalein indicator.
  • Add dropwise 0.12N sulfuric acid while counting the drops and swirling the solution.
  • Stop adding the drops when color changes from pink to colorless.
  • Calculation: Percent Concentration of MC 660 LF = Drops of 0.12N H2SO4 x 0.15

Free Alkalinity (Equipment available from Chautauqua Chemicals Co.)

  • Pipette a 10 mL sample into a 250 mL Erlenmeyer flask and allow to cool to room temperature.
  • Add 5 drops of phenolphthalein indicator.
  • Titrate with 0.10N hydrochloric acid until color changes from pink to colorless.
  • Calculation: Percent Concentration of MC 660 LF = mLs of 0.10N HCl x 1.8

Refractometer (Available from Chautauqua Chemicals Co.)

  • Calculation: Percent Concentration of MC 660 LF = Refractometer Reading x 4.2
