Hi !
I would like to know with a little more depth what strength is the chlorine I add to my pool.
I live in Belgium and they display the strength of the chlorine in degrees (°) as shown here :

They also sell 50° strength in a 25L container.
After some research it appears that this corresponds to Chlorometric degrees, which are about 3.15 times the weight percentage of available chlorine, which can be converted to available NaOCl using the molar masses ratios.
To then convert that to trade percentages, which is what is needed for poolMath, I need the specific gravity of the bleach. As I understand it, this value depends on the production process of the chlorine, and is representative of the quality (lye content)?
Can anyone tell me if I'm on the right track, and if there exists an easy way to estimate the specific gravity of 50° (=15.09% by weight of NaOCl) chlorine ?
I'm also trying to figure out ChemGeek's PoolEquations spreadsheet, and I'm trying to adapt the levels to fit my bleach concentration. So any help is welcome
Thanks !
