CHEMetrics’ sulphate test kits have a range of applications including the determination of sulphate in drinking water, beverages cooling water and ion exchange systems.

• Premixed
• Premeasured
• Precise

The sulphate Vacu-vials test kit employs the turbidimetric method. Sulphate ion reacts with barium chloride in an acidic solution to form a suspension of barium sulfate crystals of uniform size.

The USEPA has established a Secondary Drinking Water Standard of 250 mg/L for sulfate in potable water, as higher concentrations affect odor and taste.
