ICT is made up of information technology (storage tanks) and communications technology (pipes). Information (stored water) is stored using information technology (storage tanks) and a communication (flowing water) reaches the recipient through communications technology (pipes).
The Brinell hardness test is commonly used to determine the hardness of materials like metals and alloys. The test is achieved by applying a known load to the surface of the tested material through a hardened steel ball of known diameter. The diameter of the resulting permanent impression in the tested metal is measured and the Brinell Hardness Number is calculated as. BHN = 2 P / (Ï D (D - (D2 - d2)1/2)) (1). where.
Reduce Pool Water Hardness. 1  Take a water sample from a depth of at least 12 inches from the water surface. 2  Add a reagent from a hardness test kit to the water sample and check the result against the guide provided by the test kit manufacturer. 3  Drain some of the water in the pool if the water hardness level is too high. Add fresh water to replace the water you remove from the pool. Collect another sample of the pool water and conduct the hardness test again to check that the hardness is between 200 to 400 ppm.
