About This Item
ASTM D5173 is a technical guide for on-line monitoring of total organic carbon in water by oxidation and detection of the resulting carbon dioxide. It helps users understand a commonly used approach for tracking organic carbon levels in real time or near real time, supporting water quality oversight and process control. As an ASTM standard, it provides a consistent reference for evaluating monitoring practices and aligning measurement workflows with a recognized technical document.
What is ASTM D5173?
ASTM D5173 is a guide focused on on-line total organic carbon monitoring in water, using oxidation of the sample and detection of the carbon dioxide formed. The standard is intended to support a structured understanding of this measurement approach rather than prescribe a single instrument design. In practice, it helps users interpret how continuous TOC monitoring may be performed, what the method is intended to measure, and how results can be used in water testing and control applications.
Where is ASTM D5173 used?
This guide is commonly used in water monitoring settings where continuous or frequently updated TOC data is needed. It is relevant to treatment systems, process water circuits, laboratory support workflows, and installed online analyzers that measure carbon dioxide after oxidation. ASTM D5173 is useful wherever water quality trends must be observed consistently, especially in systems that benefit from timely indication of organic contamination or process upsets.
Why is ASTM D5173 important?
ASTM D5173 matters because it supports consistent interpretation of online TOC monitoring practice. For organizations that rely on water quality data, a recognized guide can improve comparability, help with procurement decisions, and support quality control programs. It also provides a technical basis for evaluating method suitability, which may reduce uncertainty when selecting or using instrumentation for ongoing monitoring and compliance-related activities.
