Langelier-Index TD Uk

The document discusses the Langelier Index, which is a measure of the saturation of calcium carbonate in water. It is calculated based on parameters like pH, alkalinity, calcium concentration, and temperature. The Langelier Index indicates whether water will be corrosive, scale-forming, or balanced. ALS Environmental laboratory can test for the Langelier Index and other drinking water parameters to help operators optimize their water systems. Drinking water in England is generally considered very hard with high calcium carbonate levels.
