fore use.
• Using the plastic pipette, fill each glass
vial with 5 mL of sample, up to the
mark.
• Insert one of them into the left hand
opening of the checker disc. This is the
blank.
• Rotate the disc while looking at the color test windows
and stop when you find the color match. Read the
value in the result window and record it in pH units.
Note: A concentration of Chlorine above 50 ppm causes
interference inhibiting the development of the color.
In this case require the HI 3882/O Test Kit.

Dear Customer,
Thank you for choosing a Hanna Product.
Please read the instructions carefully before using the
chemical test kit. It will provide you with the necessary
information for correct use of the kit.
Remove the chemical test kit from the packing material and
examine it carefully to make sure that no damage has
occurred during shipping. If there is any noticeable damage, notify your Dealer or the nearest Hanna office
immediately.
Each kit is supplied with:
HI 3882-0 pH 3.0-5.0 Reagent, 1 bottle with
•
dropper (25 mL);
1 checker disc;
•
2 glass vials with caps;
•
1 plastic pipette (3 mL).
•
Note: Any damaged or defective item must be returned in
its original packing materials.
pH represents acidity or alkalinity of an aqueous solution
and is proportional to the hydrogen-ion concentration of the
solution. Under neutral conditions water is dissociated into
-
the OH
and H+ ions in equal ratio and hence it has a pH
of 7. When bases or acids are added to a water solution
they ionize, increasing the concentration of OH
respectively. Thus solutions with a pH of 1-3 contain strong
acids, whereas those with a pH of 4-6 contain weak acids.
Weak bases result in solutions of pH 8-10 and strong bases
in pH of 11-13.

• Add to the other glass vial 2 drops of HI 3882-0
reagent. Replace the cap and mix the solution by
gently swirling. This is the reacted sample.
• Remove the cap and insert the reacted sample
into the right hand opening of the checker disc.
• Hold the checker disc so
that a light source illuminates the samples from
the back windows.
For best results: Intensely colored samples will make the color
matching determination difficult and they should be
adequately treated before performing the test. Suspended matter in large amounts should be removed
by prior filtration.
Caution: Ultraviolet radiation may cause fading of colors.
When not in use, keep the disc protected from light,
in a cool and dry place.
