QUANTOFIX Nitrite/pH

QUANTOFIX Nitrite/pH Test Strips

For the quick and easy determination of nitrite and pH in cooling lubricants. The easy dip & read procedure provides a reliable result within 1 minute.

QUANTOFIX Nitrite/pH is ideal for monitoring two important parameters in cooling lubricants. The nitrite test is an indicator for bacterial growth in the cooling lubricant cycle. It allows early counteractive measures and therefore increases the lifetime of the cooling lubricant.  An added benefit is significant cost savings.  A weekly determination of the nitrite concentration is also recommended to protect workers from carcinogenic nitrosamine. High levels of nitrite in the cooling lubricant foster the formation of this carcinogenic compound.

The pH test is specially optimized for the demands of cooling lubricant analysis. Short testing cycles allow an early detection of pH changes. Counteractive measures can be performed to keep the pH at the optimal level. This ensures optimal protection against corrosion, inhibits bacterial growth and therefore reduces maintenance costs.

Directions for use

Take a sample (do not hold the test strip in flowing cooling lubricant).  Dip QUANTOFIX Nitrite/pH test strip with all test fields into the sample for 1 second.  Shake off excess liquid.  Wait 60 seconds.  Compare test fields with the colour scale.

Store in a cool, dry place.  Avoid exposure to sunlight and moisture.
