Brom (Br) ist ein chemisches Element, das zur Gruppe der Halogene gehört und eine rotbraune Flüssigkeit bei Raumtemperatur und Raumdruck ist. Es ist ein seltenes Element in der Erdkruste und kommt normalerweise in Form von Bromid-Ionen in Salzlagerstätten und Meerwasser vor.
Brom ist ein starkes Oxidationsmittel und wird in der Chemie zur Herstellung von Verbindungen wie Bromiden, Bromaten und organischen Bromverbindungen verwendet. Es wird auch als Desinfektionsmittel in der Wasseraufbereitung eingesetzt, um Bakterien, Viren und andere Mikroorganismen im Wasser abzutöten.
Brom ist ein giftiges Element und kann bei Kontakt mit Haut und Augen Reizungen verursachen. Es kann auch zu Atembeschwerden und anderen gesundheitlichen Problemen führen, wenn es in hohen Dosen eingeatmet oder verschluckt wird. Daher sollte es mit Vorsicht gehandhabt werden und nur von geschultem Personal verwendet werden.
In der Natur spielt Brom eine Rolle in der Atmosphäre, wo es zur Bildung von Ozon beitragen kann. Es ist auch ein wichtiger Bestandteil von Meeresalgen und wirkt als Schutz gegen Fraßfeinde.
Das Vorkommen von Brom in ihrer Anwendung kann mittels des Testomat 2000 Brom (Br2) gemessen und überwacht werden.

Online Bromine Analyzer for Process Monitoring Continuous Br2 analysis with automatic reagent dosing and limit monitoring The Testomat 2000 Br2 is an online analysis device for continuous monitoring of bromine (Br2) levels. After a short reaction time of approximately one minute, it delivers precise results in the range of 0–5.6 mg/L (ppm). The device features two independently programmable limit contacts for monitoring and controlling external processes. Analyses can be triggered automatically at intervals or via external signals, while internal error documentation and a programmable maintenance interval ensure reliability. The Testomat 2000 Br2 is suitable for monitoring disinfectant dosing and quality assurance of water in technical systems. After automatic addition of reagents, the measurement result is displayed on a plain-text screen, and two limit contacts can be used for switching or alarm functions. External controls or water meter signals can influence the analysis triggering. Functions of the Testomat Two independently programmable limit contacts allow monitoring of critical bromine concentrations and integration into automated control processes. Additionally, the device can monitor two measurement points using external solenoid valves. Typical Applications Swimming pools and indoor pools Process water in industry Water treatment plants Food and beverage industry Why is bromine measurement important? Bromine is used as a disinfectant and is only effective within a narrow concentration range. Too low bromine levels lead to insufficient disinfection, while too high levels can cause material damage, irritation, and unnecessary chemical consumption. Continuous bromine monitoring ensures safe dosing, protects equipment, and guarantees consistent water quality in swimming pools, process water, and industrial water applications. Performance Profile of the Testomat 2000 Br2 Analysis via automatic dosing of 2 reagents Measurement result display after approx. 1 minute reaction time 2 independently programmable limit contacts for monitoring and control tasks Menu-guided operation and programming via plain-text display High measurement accuracy thanks to precise piston dosing pump Analysis triggering: Automatic interval mode (interval pause adjustable from 0–99 minutes) External triggering Quantity-dependent via contact water meter Two independent limits with hysteresis (1, 2, or 3 bad analyses) and adjustable switching functions Monitoring of two measurement points (switching via external solenoid valves) Internal error documentation Programmable service address Programmable maintenance interval for maintenance requests
