22、a part of ANSI*/AWWA B502. I. Introduction. I.A. Background. Sodium polyphosphate, glassy (Na n+2P n O n+1 , n = 12-16 or 18-21), is a manufactured product obtained by combining comparatively pure chemicalssoda ash (Na 2 CO 2 ) or caustic soda (NaOH)with phosphoric acid. Although the resulting produ

23、ct is consistent in quality and content, each manufacturer may produce it in several different physical forms (Section 4). The density of crushed or granular material is approximately 80 lb/ft 3(approximately 1,280 kg/m 3 ). A solution of 2 lb/gal (0.24 kg/L) has a specific gravity of approximately

24、1.2. The uses of sodium polyphosphate, glassy, include corrosion control, scale preven- tion, iron and manganese stabilization, and sequestering of metallic ions. The chemical is available in a wide range of physical forms and sizes, allowing flexibility in the type of dissolving or feeding apparatu

25、s to be used. I.B. History. The first edition of AWWA B502 was approved as tentative on Jan. 23, 1966. It was approved as a standard on June 1, 1967 , and published as AWWA B502-67. Subsequent revisions were approved by the AWWA Board of Directors as ANSI/AWWA B502-78, ANSI/AWWA B502-83, ANSI/AWWA B

26、502-88, ANSI/ AWWA B502-94, ANSI/AWWA B502-01, and ANSI/AWWA B502-05. This edition was prepared by the AWWA Standards Committee on Scale and Corrosion-Control Chemicals and was approved on Jan. 23, 2011. I.C. Acceptance. In May 1985, the US Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) entered into a coop

27、erative agreement with a consortium led by NSF International (NSF) to develop voluntary third-party consensus standards and a certification program for direct and indirect drinking water additives. Other members of the original consortium included the American Water Works Association Research Founda

28、tion (AwwaRF, now Water Research Foundation ) and the Conference of State Health and Environmental Managers (COSHEM). The American Water Works Association (AWWA) and the Association of State Drinking Water Administrators (ASDWA) joined later. * American National Standards Institute, 25 West 43rd Str

30、l states.* Local agencies may choose to impose requirements more stringent than those required by the state. To evaluate the health effects of products and drinking water additives from such products, state and local agencies may use various references, including two standards developed under the di

31、rection of NSF, NSF /ANSI 60, Drinking Water Treatment ChemicalsHealth Effects, and NSF/ANSI 61, Drinking Water System ComponentsHealth Effects. Various certification organizations may be involved in certifying products in accor- dance with NSF/ANSI 60. Individual states or local agencies have autho

32、rity to accept or accredit certification organizations within their jurisdiction. Accreditation of certi- fication organizations may vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. Annex A, “Toxicology Review and Evaluation Procedures,” to NSF/ANSI 60 does not stipulate a maximum allowable level (MAL) of a

33、contaminant for substances not regulated by a USEPA final maximum contaminant level (MCL). The MALs of an unspecified list of “unregulated contaminants” are based on toxicity testing guidelines (noncarcinogens) and risk characterization methodology (carcinogens). Use of Annex A procedures may not al

34、ways be identical, depending on the certifier. ANSI/AWWA B502 addresses additives requirements in Sec. 4.3 of the standard. The transfer of contaminants from chemicals to processed water or to residual solids is becoming a problem of great concern. The language in Sec. 4.3.3 is a recommenda- tion on

35、ly for direct additives used in the treatment of potable water to be certified by an accredited certification organization in accordance with NSF/ANSI 60 Drinking Water Treatment ChemicalsHealth Effects. However, users of the standard may opt to make this certification a requirement for the product.

36、 Users of this standard should consult the appropriate state or local agency having jurisdiction in order to 1. Determine additives requirements, including applicable standards. 2. Determine the status of certifications by parties offering to certify products for contact with, or treatment of, drink

37、ing water. 3. Determine current information on product certification. II. Special Issues. II.A. Storage and Handling Precautions. Sodium polyphosphate, glassy, is hygroscopic in nature and must be stored under dry conditions. Exposure to humidity produces a sticky film on the exposed material. This

38、results in poor flow and in caking, which interfere with the rate of dissolution of the product. Refer to material safety data * Persons outside the United States should contact the appropriate authority having jurisdiction. NSF International, 789 N. Dixboro Road, Ann Arbor, MI 48105.

It is the responsibility of the user of an AWWA standard to determine that the products described in that standard are

40、suitable for use in the particular application being considered. III.A. Purchaser Options and Alternatives. The following information should be provided by the purchaser. 1. Standard usedthat is, ANSI/AWWA B502, Sodium Polyphosphate, Glassy (Sodium Hexametaphosphate), of latest revision. 2. Whether

41、compliance with NSF/ANSI 60, Drinking Water Treatment ChemicalsHealth Effects, is required. 3. Details of other federal, state, or provincial, and local requirements (Section 4). 4. Physical form(s) and quantity (Sec. 4.1.1). 5. Specific maximum impurity content limits, if required (Sec. 4.3). 6. Wh

The purchaser may reject product from bulk containers or packages with missing or damaged seals unless the purchasers tests of representative samples, conducted in accordance with Sec. 5.2, demonstrat

43、e that the product meets the standard. Failure to meet the standard or the absence of, or irregularities in, seals may be sufficient cause to reject a shipment. 7. Form of shipmentbulk or package, type, and size of container (Sec. 6.2.1). 8. Whether alternative security measures have been adopted to

44、 replace or augment the security measures set out in Sec. 6.2.3 and 6.2.4. 9. Affidavit of compliance, certified analysis, or both, if required (Sec. 6.3). III.B. Modification to Standard.
