Boiler and Cooling Water Testing
Routine testing helps operating teams control hardness, alkalinity, chloride, sulphite, phosphate, silica, pH and treatment residuals that influence scale, corrosion and heat-transfer performance.
Turn routine measurements into useful operating information.

- Test boiler feedwater, boiler water, condensate, cooling-tower make-up and circulating water at defined sampling points.
- Select the range based on expected operating limits and the treatment programme.
- Trend results rather than relying on isolated readings.
- Investigate sudden changes alongside conductivity, blowdown, chemical dosing and system operation.
Suggested kits for this application
Final selection should be based on the required parameter, expected range and approved testing procedure.

Sulphite is not usually present in surface waters. If sulphite is discharged in effluents or from domestic wastewaters it readily oxidizes to sulphate. Sodium sulphite the most common form of sulphite is an exc
Boiler and Cooling Water Testing FAQs
How often should field testing be performed?
Frequency depends on system risk, operating variability, treatment programme and regulatory requirements. High-risk or rapidly changing systems should be checked more frequently.
Where should samples be collected?
Use representative points that reflect the water being controlled. Define consistent locations so results can be compared over time.
What should be done with an unexpected result?
Repeat the test using fresh sample and clean equipment, review the procedure, then confirm critical findings through an approved laboratory or technical specialist.
