HI97731 is an advanced portable photometer for the measurement of zinc in water. This meter offers a superior optical system that utilizes a reference detector and narrow band interference filters for extremely fast and repeatable measurements.
Zinc is normally introduced into drinking water through industrial effluents, especially due to dezincification of brass and deterioration of galvanized iron. In addition to drinking water, zinc is measured in surface finishing, boilers and cooling towers, water conditioning, and effluent waters.
The HI97731 meter measures the zinc content in water samples up to 3.00 mg/L (ppm). The method is adaptation of the Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Wastewater, 23rd Edition, Zinc on method. When the reagent is added to a sample containing zinc, the sample will turn a brown-green to a blue hue; the greater the concentration, the deeper the color. The associated color change is then colorimetrically analyzed according to the Beer-Lambert Law. This principle states that light is absorbed by a complementary color, and the emitted radiation is dependent upon concentration. For silver determination, a narrow band interference filter at 575 nm allows only yellow-green light to be detected by the silicon photodetector and omits all other visible light emitted from the tungsten lamp. As the change in color of the reacted sample increases, absorbance of the specific wavelength of light also increases, while transmittance decreases.
CAL Check
Advanced features including CAL-Check to verify performance and if necessary, recalibrate.
Setup Options
Backlit dot matrix LCD that offers an exceptionally intuitive user interface that is easy to read and understand.

Stable Light Source:
High Efficiency Light Source:
High Quality Filters:
Greater Light Yield:
A focusing lens collects all of the light that exits the cuvette, eliminating errors from imperfections and scratches that may be present in the glass. The use of the convex lens reduces the need for indexing cuvettes.
