SYSTEMS FOR DETERMINING CYANURIC ACID IN WATER

摘要

A colorimetric test reagent composition is presented for determining the amount of cyanuric acid in water. Cyanuric acid is added to outdoor swimming pool water to stabilize the chlorine added as a sanitizer. Basically the test composition utilizes melamine and an indicator material which responds to a change in pH of the test environment caused by the action of cynanuric acid on the reagent composition. Preferably the test composition is incorporated in a porous matrix which results in a convenient solid state test device.
