SM 4500-HB Standard Test Method for pH Determination

EUROLAB laboratory provides testing and compliance services within the scope of SM 4500 H+ B standard. The SM 4500 H+ B method, which includes a test method for pH determination, has been developed within the scope of the National Environmental Methods Index (NEMI), which creates a database containing environmental methods, protocols, statistical and analytical methods and procedures, and develops standard methods.

Determining the pH value is one of the most important and frequently used tests in water chemistry. Almost every stage of water supply and wastewater treatment, for example acid-base neutralization, water softening, precipitation, coagulation, disinfection and corrosion control processes, is pH dependent. It is used in pH value, alkalinity and carbon dioxide measurements and many other acid-base balances.

At a given temperature, the intensity of the acidic or basic character of a solution is indicated by its pH value or hydrogen ion activity.

Alkalinity and acidity are the acid and base neutralizing capacities of a water and are generally expressed as milligrams of calcium carbonate per liter. Buffer capacity is the amount of strong acid or base required to change the pH of a 1 L sample by 1 unit, usually expressed in moles per liter.
