Scaling indexes should be calculated using the limits belowScaling indexes should be calculated at 150∞F [66∞C] for direct use and HWG applications, and at 90∞F [32∞C] for indirect HX use.A monitoring plan should be implemented.Table 3: Water Quality Standards13W a t e r- t o - W a t e r ( 5 0 Y E R ) S e r i e s - P u r o n ®R e v. : 1 J u l y, 2 0 1 0
