Product Description
ASTM Method D-5384USEPA SW-846 Method 9077
CLOR-D-TECT 1000 under USEPA SW-846 Method 9077, provides a "go, no-go" result at a level of 1000 ppm chlorine. Used oil transporters, generators and facilities that recycle or re-refine used oil can incorporate Clor-D-Tect 1000 into their management of waste oil to prevent costly hazardous waste from being mixed with non-contaminated oil. Generators can identify and label their waste oil hazardous or non-hazardous, for proper management and disposal. Designed for use on-site, the test takes less than 5 minutes to run with no special training. Each kit comes complete to perform one test, and all premeasured reagents are sealed in glass ampules. Clor-D-Tect 1000 has proven to be an ideal test to spot-check oil before it is transported, accepted or introduced into larger holding tanks. Clor-D-Tect 1000 has been assigned ASTM Method D-5384 and USEPA SW-846 Method 9077.

FAQs of CLOR-D-TECT 1000 On-Site Screening Of Used Oil:
Q: How does the CLOR-D-TECT 1000 kit detect chlorine in used oil?
A: The kit employs a manual, visual colorimetric method using chemical reagents. When mixed with used oil in the provided ampoules, the presence of chlorine creates a noticeable color change, enabling on-site screening without the need for external instrumentation.
Q: What steps are involved in using the CLOR-D-TECT 1000 screening kit?
A: To conduct a test, simply follow the included instructions: combine the oil sample with the activation powder in a test ampoule, observe any visual color change, and compare it to the reference chart to determine chlorine concentration.
Q: When should CLOR-D-TECT 1000 be used for oil monitoring?
A: This kit is suitable for routine, on-site screening of used oil in industrial environments where quick, actionable results are needed to assess contamination or regulatory compliance.
Q: Where should the CLOR-D-TECT 1000 kit be stored before use?
A: For optimal shelf life and reagent stability, store the boxed kit in a cool, dry place at room temperature. Unopened kits remain effective for up to 18 months under these conditions.
Q: What are the main benefits of using this kit for industrial oil screening?
A: It offers rapid, accurate chlorine detection (down to 1000 ppm) directly at the testing site, supports timely decision-making, and is easy to use without specialized equipment or power sources.
Q: Is any special equipment or power source required to operate the kit?
A: No external equipment or electricity is needed. The test is performed manually with the plastic ampoules, chemical reagents, and reference materials provided in the kit.
