Description
The HI 96730 measures the molybdenum content in water and wastewater. The meter uses a unique positive locking system to ensure that the cuvette is in the same place each time it is placed in the measuring cell.
The tray has a very important role because it is an optical element and therefore requires particular attention. It is important that both measuring and calibration (zeroing) cuvettes are identical so that they offer the same measurement conditions. Whenever possible, the same bucket should be used for both. It is necessary that the surface of the bucket is clean and scratch-free to avoid interference due to unwanted reflection and absorption of light. It is recommended not to touch the walls of the tray with your hands.
In addition, in order to maintain the same conditions during the zeroing and measurement phases, it is necessary to close the bucket to prevent any contamination.
Molybdenum or molybdate are salts often used in industrial cooling towers. They are non-toxic and continue to become more popular over chromates as a corrosion inhibitor. Molybdenum has a wide variety of applications as an alloying agent in steel and cast iron, a pigment for inks and paints, and also as a multi-purpose solid lubricant.
