SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
Ethylene glycol is widely used as a coolant and antifreeze.
Its presence in motor oils is an indication of a perforated engine block or of
a leakage in the cooling systems. The Hanna Glycol test kit can be used for
water as well as oil samples to determine traces of ethylene glycol and other
1,2 glycols above 30 ppm. For better results test samples from used motor oil:
samples from new oils can give erroneous positive results. Never test oils
from hot engines. Use the HI 3859 Glycol Standard 0.025% included in the Kit
to easily recognize a positive result in the form of an intense purple
Note: mg/L is equivalent to ppm (parts per million).
CHEMICAL REACTION
Ethylene glycol and other 1,2 glycols are determined by a two-step reaction:
Step 1: glycol is oxidized to two carbonyl groups under acidic
conditions;
Step 2: the carbonyl groups react with the indicator in the HI 3859C-0
reagent powder packet to give a colored solution.
INSTRUCTIONS
READ THE ENTIRE INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE KIT
Note: to learn how to recognize the presence of glycol you can use the HI
3859 Glycol Standard 0.025%.
Procedure: add 10 drops of HI 3859 Glycol Standard 0.025% to 0.5 mL of your sample and follow the instructions below: an intense purple color will develop.
- Unscrew the cap of the glass vial and fill it with 5 mL of HI 3859A-0 reagent to the mark using the 3 mL plastic pipette. Add 0.5 mL of your sample using the 1 mL plastic pipette.
- Add the content of one packet of HI 3859B-0 reagent, replace the cap, and mix until any solid element is totally dissolved.
- Wait for 20-25 minutes or place the vial in hot tap water for 5 minutes.
- Carefully unscrew the vial and add one packet of HI 3859C-0 reagent; replace the cap and mix well until the reagent is completely dissolved.
- Wait for 75 minutes at room temperature or place the vial in hot tap water for 20 minutes.
- Detect the presence/absence of glycol in your sample by the color developed:
ppm of glycol| Color
---|---
0-30| yellow-brown
30-75| light purple
more than 75| dark purple
Note: always wait for the final color to be developed. Colors can turn
from yellow to colorless to light purple (for low-range glycol) orange to
grey/green to dark purple (for high-range glycol)
Note: Before performing a new test, rinse thoroughly the vial under water
and clean it by means of a brush with some soap.
Warning: HI 3859B-0 and HI 3859C-0 reagents can be disposed of as
ordinary refuse. HI, 3859A-0 reagent, and the content of the vial after use
are generally classified as special wastes. Arrange disposal with a Chemical
Disposal company or contact your Local Authorities for advice.
