The Role of Chlorine Colorimeters in Disinfection

Colorimetry is a way to measure the concentration of substances that absorbs light. In a colorimetric test, a reagent is added to a water sample. If the analyte that a user is trying to detect, like chlorine, is present in that water sample, a color change will occur. A colorimeter is an instrument used to measure the intensity of that color change and correlates that change to a useful unit of measure for the user– such as mg/l chlorine.

The Role of Chlorine Colorimeters in Disinfection

The principle of photometry

When specific reagents are added, the water sample takes on a degree of coloration that is proportional to the concentration of the parameter being measured. The photometer measures this coloration.
