An instrument designed to measure the concentration or amount of chlorine in a substance, such as water or bleach solutions.
From chloro- 'chlorine' + -meter 'measuring device'. This analytical instrument emerged in the late 19th century as chlorine use in water purification expanded.
Early chlorometers were surprisingly simple—some just measured color changes in chemical indicators—but modern versions use spectrophotometry to detect chlorine concentrations in the parts-per-million range, allowing water treatment plants to maintain perfect safety levels.
