Silica Kit (K-9010) comes in a plastic case and contains everything needed to perform 30 tests: Refill, Low and High Range Comparators, Neutralizer Solution, Activator Solution, 25 mL sample cup, sample cup top, and instructions. Silica (SiO2) is the oxide of silicon, the second most
abundant element in the earth’s crust. Silica is present
as silicates in most natural waters. Typical concentrations
lie between 1 and 30 mg/L. Higher concentrations may
exist in brackish waters and brines. The silica content
of water should be determined prior to its use in a
variety of industrial applications. Silica can form a
harmful scale on equipment and heat transfer surfaces,
particularly steam turbine blades
