Methyl ethyl ketone CH3COC2H5 NO.152D
 Performance
Measuring Range
2 to 600 ppm
Sampling Hours
1 to 10 hours
Detecting Limit
2ppm (10 hours)
Color Change
Yellow ---> Reddish Brown
Reaction Principle Methyl Ethyl Ketone reacts with hydroxylamine phosphate to librate phosphrous acid, which discolors pH indicator to reddish brown.
3CH3COC2H5 + (NH2OH)3H3PO4 ---> H3PO4
H3PO4 + Base ---> Phosphate
Coefficient of Variation 10% (for 20 to 600 ppm-hr)
Shelf Life 2 Years
Corrections for temperature & humidity Temperature correction is necessary
Store the tubes in the refrigerator to keep at 10oC (50oF) or below.
