The amountof color developed is proportional to the concentration ofcopper present in the aqueous sample.Copper is an essential trace element in human diet (thedaily requirement is around 2.0 mg) and a factor in plantmetabolism. Copper salts are used in water supply systemsto control biological growth in reservoirs. High concentrationson the other hand are toxic and corrosion of copper alloys inpipe fittings may introduce considerable quantities into thewater supplies.Note: mg/L is equivalent to ppm (parts per million).INSTRUCTIONSINSTRUCTIONSINSTRUCTIONSINSTRUCTIONSINSTRUCTIONSREAD THE ENTIRE INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE KIT• To measure copper in the 0-0.25 range, fill the longpath comparator cube with sample up to the 25 mLmark.The chemicals contained in this kit may be hazardous ifimproperly handled.

Replace thecap and swirl tomix. This is thediluted sample.• Pour then 5 mL of the di-luted sample from the tubeto the color cube (up to themark).• Add 1 packet of HI 93702-0, replacethe cap and shake well.• Wait 45 seconds toallow color to develop.• Determine which color matches the solution in the vessel.Multiply the result by 2.4 to obtain mg/L (or ppm) ofCopper in the sample.• It is better to match the color with a white sheet placedat about 10 cm (4") behind the comparator.2.5 mL25 mL
