Water Monitoring Testing
% Saturation
To test for % Saturation, you just need the results from your previous two tests—Temperature and Dissolved Oxygen—and the instruction booklet from your test kit.
What You'll Need:
- Recorded results from Temperature and Dissolved Oxygen tests.
- Protective gloves.
- Instruction booklet from your test kit.
% Saturation Test Procedure:
- Compare the temperature of your water sample with the table on page 13 of the booklet from your kit.
- Then, compare the Dissolved Oxygen result of your water sample with the ones found in the table on page 13.
- Compare the color of the sample to the Dissolved Oxygen color chart from your kit.
- The % saturation is where the temperature row and the Dissolved Oxygen column intersect. For example: if your water sample temperature is 16° C and the Dissolved Oxygen result is 4 ppm (ppm is equivalent to mg/L), you will see that the intersecting number is 41. So, the % Saturation of your sample would be 41. This would be the number you record on your data sheet.
 Locating % saturation by intersecting the temperature results with the dissolved oxygen results on table found on page 13 of the instruction booklet. |
