Dietrich-Frühling calcimeter
AR225
Used for the determination of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) in certain products such as limestone and lime marl
.
It mainly consists of a glass container in which the reaction between the calcium carbonate present in the product and a solution of hydrocloridric acid takes place.
The resulting gas is collected and measured by a device connected to the container. As the volume of the released gas (CO2) is in relation to the CaCO3 content of the material, it is possible to calculate the percentage of CaCO3 .
