What Are Units of Hardness
What Are Units of Hardness
Degree of Hardness: -
It is expressed in terms of Calcium Carbonate equivalents and different salts causing hardness are
converted into Ca(CO)3 equivalent.
CaCO3 as Standard: -
It is Chosen for reporting hardness due to its insolubility and convenient molecular weight of 100.
Interconvertable Relation
The inter relation between units of hardness is: -
1 ppm = 1 mg/L = 0.1 (°Fr) = 0.07 (°Cl)
