Q » How does the DPD colorimetric method measure chlorine?
03 Nov, 2025
A » The DPD colorimetric method measures chlorine by reacting N,N-diethyl-p-phenylenediamine (DPD) with chlorine in water, producing a pink color. The intensity of this color, which correlates with chlorine concentration, is measured using a colorimeter or comparator. This method is widely used for its accuracy and is effective for testing both free and total chlorine levels in water purification processes.
