Iron ions in the acidic water parameters of the device
Thread Content
According to my documentation, the acidic water used in the system needs to be tested and analyzed regularly; one of the tests is to measure the iron ion content in that acidic water, with the required level being ≤3 mg/l. Does a higher value for iron ions indicate that the acidic water is causing significant corrosion to the pipes? Is my understanding correct? Please let me know, thank you
Your understanding is correct. If the iron ion concentration in acidic water exceeds 3 mg/l, it usually indicates severe corrosion of the pipes, as iron ions originate primarily from the iron-containing materials of such pipes and other equipment. Regular testing of iron ion levels can help assess the degree of corrosion and enable timely maintenance. .
What should be the pH value of acidic water?
