Approved method of testing BOD for potable
water.*
A. Silver Diethyldithiocarbamate Method
(Colorimetric)
C. Dilution Technique
D. Colometric Method
The Silver Diethyldithiocarbamate (SDDC) Method
is a widely used colorimetric technique for the
determination of arsenic in aqueous samples.
Although it is sensitive enough for the low-level
determination of arsenic in drinking water,
expensive instrumentation is not required.
The method used in the water BOD content test is
the winkler method, while the water COD content
test is the spectrophotometric method. The
winkler titration method is used to determine
dissolved oxygen levels using iodometric titration.
Zero-gauge pressure is also known as atmospheric
pressure and is _______.*
A. 29-inch mercury
B. 16 psi
C. 18.5 psi
D. 14.7 psi
The standard atmosphere (symbol: atm) is
a unit of pressure defined as 101,325 Pa
(1,013.25 hPa), which is equivalent to
1,013.25 millibars, 760 mm Hg, 29.9212
inches Hg, or 14.696 psi.
The cheapest among sewer type pipes?*
A. Vitrified Clay Pipe
B. Bituminous Fiber Sewer Pipe
C. Screwed Pipe
D. Cast Iron Pipe
BITUMINOUS FIBER SEWER PIPE is the
cheapest among the sewer pipes. It is
sometimes recommended for house sewer
& for septic tank installation. This type of
pipe is light in weight, slightly flexible w/c
could take slight soil movement w/o danger
of cracking or pulling out from its joint.
However, excessive hot water or chemical
flow may soften or damage the pipe.
