Peracetic acid concentration
Formula for calculation:
1
c (PES) (in ppm)
= Consumption B of thiosulphate solution (in ml)
* 38 * N * 1000/(sample volume (in ml))
N = normality of thiosulphate solution
Example
Consumption B = 10.6 ml; c (thiosulphate solution) = 0.02 N;
Sample volume = 20 ml
Thus
c (PES) = 10.6 x 38 x 0.02 x 1000/20 = 403 ppm or 0.0403 %.
NOTE
1
) ppm = parts per million
1 ppm = 1 mg/1,000,000 mg = 1 mg/1000 g = 1 mg/l (1 l H
O = 1 kg)
2
1 % = 1 g/100 ml = 10 g / 1000 ml = 10,000 ppm
