Common molybdate colorimetry measures method-defined reactive silica, not automatically all colloidal/polymeric silica. Distinguish as-Si and as-SiO2 reporting and define preparation before comparisons. The principle explains signal generation; it does not establish the range, accuracy, materials or approvals of every model. Review the physical principle and the application limits separately.

Verification: Confirm "Reactive or total silica objective" and assess "Reactive and total silica are not automatically identical; preparation determines inclusion of colloidal or unreactive fractions." against the actual application. Record the complete model and document revision used.

适用边界：Reactive and total silica are not automatically identical; preparation determines inclusion of colloidal or unreactive fractions.

Define the quantity to be accepted before selecting a display unit. Common molybdate colorimetry measures method-defined reactive silica, not automatically all colloidal/polymeric silica. Distinguish as-Si and as-SiO2 reporting and define preparation before comparisons. For "Reactive or total silica objective", document output definitions and conversion or compensation conditions; displaying a value does not make it a direct measurement under all conditions.

适用边界：Reactive and total silica are not automatically identical; preparation determines inclusion of colloidal or unreactive fractions.

Prepare at least these five input groups: Reactive or total silica objective; As-Si or as-SiO2 reporting; Low-range and blank requirements; Method interferences such as phosphate; Sample temperature and sampling materials. Mark unknown items for confirmation instead of substituting a normal point or an assumed default for all conditions.

Verification: Have process, instrumentation and purchasing roles agree the inputs, particularly "As-Si or as-SiO2 reporting". Resolve missing evidence before requesting application confirmation.
