Description:
Precision Potassium Iodide Starch Test Paper. The Potassium Iodide Starch test paper detects free Iodine, Chlorine and Peroxides in solution. Lower levels react with the strip at 5 – 10 ppm. Iodine requires approximately 60 seconds to react, and initial reactions show a slight blue color, while higher concentrations turn the strip from dark blue to purple. 100 stripsper vial; 24 vials/case.
Directions:
- Remove one Potassium Iodide Starch test paper from the vial, being careful not to touch the paper anywhere other than where you grasp it.
- Dip the paper strip into the solution to be tested for 1-2 seconds.
- Remove the strip and shake off any excess liquid.
- Chlorine and Peroxides react immediately, while Iodine requires approximately 60 seconds. Initial reactions show a slight blue color, while higher concentrations turn the strip from dark blue to purple.
- The upper limits for chlorine and peroxides are between 400 to 450 ppm, and the upper limits for Iodine are at 50 to 100 ppm.
