INTERFERENCES
Interferences may be caused by:
Calcium (as CaCO
3
) above 20000 mg/L
Chloride (as Cl
-
) above 40000 mg/L
Magnesium (as MgCO
3
) above 10000 mg/L
Silica (as SiO
2
) above 500 mg/L
Color or suspended matter in large amounts will interfere: suspended matter should be removed by previous
filtration.
Organic matter in large amounts may impede the precipitation of barium sulfate.
