Kolor Kut Water Finding Paste, otherwise known as Water Gauging Paste, is used to test for the presence of water in the bottom of oil, AGO petrol, gasoline, PMS, oil, and kerosene tanks. The brown paste is applied to a weighted string or rod, and dipped to the bottom of the tank. The section of the paste that touches water, will immediately turn a brilliant red upon contact, then, once the rod is removed, you can determine the depth of the water by the paste that has changed colour.
Used in all Petroleum by-products for water interface level. Successfully gauge all petroleum and by-products for water content. Also Sulphuric Acid, Nitric Acid, Hydrochloric Acid, Soap Solution, Salt and all other Chloride solutions.
This golden brown coloured paste turns a brilliant red upon contact with water giving you an accurate water gauge that is easily visible even under adversel conditions. You can also use it to successfully gauge all petroleum and by-products for water content, plus sulphuric acid, nitric acid, hydrochloric acid, ammonia, soap solutions, salt and other chloride solutions.
For testing for the presence of water at the bottom of petrol storage tanks
Suitable only for use with Petrol, AGO, Kerosene, Gas Oil, Heating Oil, Heavy Oil, and Lubricating Oil
Applied to a rod / length of string with bottom weight, the brown paste changes colour to brilliant red where it comes into contact with water, giving you a visual indication as to the depth of the water present. The water can then be pumped out, and the test repeated until there is insufficient water to pump.
To remove the bulk of the water we would first recommend pumping the water out with a simple self-priming waste oil/water pump before using the absorbtion media
