We describe a procedure for the determination of hydrochloric acid concentration in gastric juice by means of a conductometric titration of the 50-fold diluted sample with an aqueous ammonia solution. The conductometric method of endpoint indication leads to a definite location of the equivalence point in the titration of hydrochloric acid. The proposed method is simple and accurate and shows a good correlation with an accepted method for the measurement of gastric acidity.
