How Can I Determine the Strength of Sodium Hypochlorite

Powell - World Recognized, Sodium Hypochlorite Experts

For complete instructions on how to determine the strength of sodium hypochlorite, refer to "The Sodium Hypochlorite Strength Test — A Chemical Test Method to Determine the Strength of Sodium Hypochlorite." This complete, detailed document explains a test method that will provide accurate and repeatable results by the producer and consumer to ensure the sodium hypochlorite is meeting the desired specification.

The analytical methods described in the application note require that certain glassware and laboratory
apparatus be available for use. The methods can be easily performed using pipettes and volumetric
glassware. The level of accuracy (and cost savings on chemicals) is directly related to the
measurement. For example, higher degrees of accuracy will provide better quality control of the
product and can potentially reduce manufacturing costs of the product.

The following laboratory apparatus with their Fisher Scientific catalog numbers are presented to help you equip your facility with the minimum laboratory glassware and accessories needed to analyze your manufactured sodium hypochlorite.
