Lovibond Hardness Test Kit Series (Total Hardness, Residual Hardness & Carbonate Hardness)

Rapid and cost-effective titration test kit series for determining total hardness, residual hardness, and carbonate hardness across domestic, beverage, softener, and industrial systems.

Technical Specifications

Test Parameters Total Hardness, Residual Hardness, Carbonate Hardness
Target Applications Water Softeners, Beverage/Coffee Brewing, Boilers, Potable Water
Resolution 1 drop = 1 or 0.5 °dH (Standard); 1 drop = 0.1 or 0.05 °dH (RH-1 Residual)

Full Product Description

Water hardness can cause severe scaling in household appliances, coffee machines, industrial heat exchangers, and reverse osmosis plants. Lovibond® Hardness Test Kits offer the ideal solution for rapid, cost-effective testing of total hardness, residual hardness, and carbonate hardness.

Featuring sharp, distinct color transitions at the titration endpoint, each calibrated drop corresponds directly to German hardness degrees (°dH) or mmol/l.

Available Hardness Kit Models & Order Codes:
1. Hardness Total (New Version): Drop titrimetric (1 drop = 1 or 0.5 °dH), ~25 tests. [Order code: 2418411]
2. Hardness Total GH-1: Drop titrimetric (1 drop = 1 or 0.5 °dH), ~50 tests. [Order code: 2418511]
3. Hardness Carbonate (New Version): Drop titrimetric (1 drop = 1 or 0.5 °dH), ~25 tests. [Order code: 2418413]
4. Hardness Carbonate KH-1: Drop titrimetric (1 drop = 1 or 0.5 °dH), ~50 tests. [Order code: 2418513]
5. Hardness Residual RH-1: High-sensitivity drop titrimetric (1 drop = 0.1 or 0.05 °dH) for ion-exchange softeners, ~50 tests. [Order code: 2418514]
6. Hardness Total + Carbonate GKH-1: Dual determination kit for total and carbonate hardness, ~25 tests. [Order code: 2418412]
