Weight Percent of Available Chlorine
Dividing the trade percent by the specific gravity of the solution gives weight percent of available chlorine.
Typically, density measurements will result in errors of 0.5 to 1.0% (i.e. 10% could be 9.90% to 10.10%) when converting from gpl available chlorine to weight percent available chlorine.
Weight % Available Chlorine = gpl available chlorine /(10 x specific gravity)
Note: when measuring the specific gravity, measure it at the same temperature as the temperature of the bleach sample used in the bleach strength test. |
