• B : depends on the highest cooling water temperature (°C),For GA/GR units take T = 75 °C
• C : depends on the calcium hardness (ppm CaCO3)
• D : depends on the HCO3- concentration or M-alkalinity (mval/l)
•
The values from A, B, C and D are found in below table:
Interpretation of the values obtained:
• RSI < 6 boiler scale formation
• RSI 6-7 neutral water
• RSI > 7 corrosive water
