Analysis Description | Acidity m is a measurement of the number of mineral acids contains in water. It is measured by titration with sodium hydrate, against the indicator m (originally methyl orange). It is usual to speak of acidity m (lowercase m) when the result is expressed in epm (equivalents per million) and acidity M (capital M) when the result is expressed in °f (French degrees) or in ppm CaCO3. In Germany, acidity m is also called “-m value”, or else negative m value, in Anglo-Saxon countries is called FMA (Free Mineral Acidity) and in France TAF (Titre en Acides Forts libres). |
Kit Contents | • 1 bottle of 100ml of titrant Acidity epm |
Observations | • The classic indicator (methyl orange), from which the analysis takes its name, has been replaced by the "Indicator M" which has a more precise color change and which changes to identify the end point of the titration much more easily. |
