After allowing to cool to ambient, pipette 25ml into a 250ml volumetric flask. Make up to the mark with distilled water. Pipette 10ml of this solution into an Erlenmeyer flask and add 5-10 drops of Indicator solution No.1. Titrate against Testing solution No.1 to a pink end-point. Record the volume used as (V).The bath strength is calculated as follows:

Strength (vol% ARDROX 14) = V x 1.4
