United States15. Significance and Use5.1 Hardness salts in

16、 water, notably calcium and magnesium, are the primary cause of tube and pipe scaling, which frequentlycauses failures and loss of process efficiency due to clogging or loss of heat transfer, or both.5.2 Hardness is caused by any polyvalent cations, but those other than Ca and Mg are seldom present

17、in more than traceamounts. The term hardness was originally applied to water in which it was hard to wash; it referred to the soap-wasting propertiesof water. With most normal alkaline water, these soap-wasting properties are directly related to the calcium and magnesiumcontent.6. Interferences6.1 T

18、he substances shown in Table 1 represent the highest concentrations that have been found not to interfere with thisdetermination.6.2 The test method is not suitable for highly colored waters, which obscure the color change of the indicator.7.
