The SM 2320 B method, which includes a test method for alkalinity determination, has been developed within the scope of the National Environmental Methods Index (NEMI), which creates a database containing environmental methods, protocols, statistical and analytical methods and procedures, and develops standard methods.

The alkalinity of a water refers to its acid neutralizing capacity. It is the sum of all titratable bases. The measured value can vary significantly with the endpoint pH value used. Alkalinity is a measure of the total property of water and can only be interpreted in terms of certain substances if the chemical composition of the sample is known.
Alkalinity is important in the treatment of natural and wastewater for all types of uses. The alkalinity of many surface waters is primarily a function of carbonate, bicarbonate, and hydroxide content, and is an indicator of the concentration of these components. Measured values may also include any additions from phosphates, silicates, or other bases, if present.
The alkalinity above alkaline earth metal concentrations is important in determining the suitability of a water for irrigation. Alkalinity measurements are used in the control of water and wastewater treatment processes. The alkalinity of raw domestic wastewater is less or slightly higher than that of the water source.
In the test, analysis, measurement and evaluation studies carried out in our organization, national and international standards and applicable legal regulations are complied with and reliable and impartial results are obtained. These studies are based on the latest technological equipment, trained and experienced staff and modern methods. Among the numerous tests performed in this context, there are also alkalinity determination (SM 2320 B method) services.
