Transcription of TOTAL DISSOLVED SOLIDS MEASUREMENT
{{id}} {{{paragraph}}}
TOTAL DISSOLVED SolidsDefinition: TOTAL DISSOLVED SOLIDS (TDS) is ameasure of the sum of all inorganic and organicsubstances in a liquid in molecular, ionized ormicro-granular colloidal suspended form. Thesolids must be small enough to survive filtrationthrough a sieve the size of two micrometer. TDS SOLIDS are normally found in all freshwatersystems. Major applications of TDS are: at lowlevels the study of water quality for streams, rivers,lakes, potable water taste, and at high levels thecontrol of scale in recirculating water systems.
(0.125 inch) of scale thickness causes about 2 to 3 % boiler efficiency loss. Not only does it add directly to the fuel bill, but also the slowed heat transfer from hot gas to boiler water results in higher temperature in the tube metal, and possible tube failure, boiler outage, and costly repairs.
