6 Processing KODAK Motion Picture Films, Module 3, Analytical Procedures • H24.03
APPARATUS
All volumetric glassware should meet all “Class A”
specifications, as defined by American Society for Testing
and Materials (ASTM) Standards E 287, E 288, and E 969,
unless otherwise stated.
For Potentiometric Titration:
• Metrohm Potentiograph, Model E536 or equivalent
titrator
• Metrohm Model 665 Dosimat with a 50-mL burette size
(no substitution)
• Electrodes:
For Visual Titration:
• Burette, Class A, 50 mL capacity, Teflon stopcock
• Magnetic Stirrer
REAGENTS
Use ACS Reagent Grade reagents unless otherwise
specified.

• Water, Type I Reagent – This method was developed, and
the resulting statistical data were obtained using reagent
water equivalent to or purer than Type I Grade, as defined
in ASTM Standard D 1193. Other grades of water, e.g.,
reverse osmosis (RO), demineralized, or distilled water,
may give equivalent results, but the effects of water
quality on method performance have not been studied.

PROCEDURE
For Potentiometric Titration
A. Hypo Index (HI) or Total Reductants
1. To a 400-mL beaker with a magnetic stir-bar, add
100 mL reagent water.
2. Pipette 40.0 mL (use a 20-mL pipette, twice) of
standardized 0.1 N potassium iodate into the 400-mL
beaker.
3. While stirring, add 10 mL of 2.0 N acetic acid and
25 mL of 0.6 M potassium iodide (KI) to the 400-mL
beaker.
4. With continued stirring, immediately pipette 1.0 mL
of sample near the surface of the liquid. Rinse the
sides of the beaker with reagent water.
5. Titrate with standardized 0.1 N sodium thiosulfate on
an E536 Metrohm Potentiograph or equivalent titrator.
If using an E536, titrate the solution from step 4, using
the following parameters:
6. Determine the volume of 0.1 N sodium thiosulfate at
the end point using concentric arcs (see Universal
Method ULM-0003-01, Potentiometric Titrations for
Photoprocessing Solutions, or subsequent revision).
7. Run a blank (do steps 1–6, but omit the addition of the
sample in step 4).
