Why should you use BS 5634- Sampling and testing potassium hydroxide?
The principal is three solutions are prepared, solution A which is a solution of the sample in water, solution B which is an acidified solution of the sample in water and solution C which is blank for the acid used in preparing solution B.
BS 5634 provides guidance on the preparation of sampling and provides methods of tests to determine the total hydroxide content carbonate content, sodium content, chloride content, content of sulphur compounds, nitrate content, cyanide content, silica content, calcium content iron content, zinc content, copper content, lead content, nickel content and arsenic content.
