Silica Test Kit Range 0-40 and 0-800 mg/L (100 tests)

Silicon is usually found as Silica Oxide in crystalline form. When it combines with other oxides and metals it forms a variety of useful silicates such as alumina silicates found in clay and clay borne products. Silicates are actually the most abundant minerals of the earth's mantle and crust. Silica is also the major constituent of sand beds on coastal areas and is a significant part of most soils.

Silica is hard and resistant to corrosion and is only slightly soluble in water. The solubility and form of Silica in water depends on the pH and the mineral bed in contact with the water. In industry, heating plants and reverse osmosis processes need to accurately monitor Silica concentrations in water because of scale formation and loss of function.
