It covers two ranges, 0-4 ppm and 0-80 ppm, making it useful for wastewater, stormwater, aquaculture, environmental monitoring, and industrial water applications where ammonia concentrations may be higher than low-level drinking water ranges.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis kit uses the Hydroxybenzyl Alcohol, or HBA, method. Free ammonia reacts with hypochlorite to form monochloramine, which then reacts with HBA in the presence of sodium nitroferricyanide to form a green-coloured complex. Results are expressed as ppm, or mg\/L, ammonia-nitrogen as NH3-N.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere this kit fits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe K-1420 is a good fit for users who need a fast visual ammonia test with a broader working range than low-level ammonia kits.
