Turbidity Meter

About Turbidity Meter

The Turbidity Meter is a precision analytical instrument used to measure the clarity or cloudiness of liquids by detecting the amount of suspended particles present in a sample. It provides readings in NTU (Nephelometric Turbidity Units), making it essential for water quality monitoring and treatment processes.

This instrument is widely used in drinking water plants, wastewater treatment facilities, environmental monitoring agencies, and industrial laboratories.

Key Features:

• Digital Display: Easy-to-read LCD/LED screen showing NTU values
• High Accuracy Measurement: Provides reliable turbidity readings for quality control
• Microprocessor-Based System: Ensures stable and repeatable results
• Fast Response Time: Quick measurement with minimal sample preparation
• Compact & Portable Design: Suitable for both lab and field use
• Easy Calibration: Simple calibration using standard solutions

Working Principle:

The Turbidity Meter works on the nephelometric principle, where a light beam passes through the liquid sample. Suspended particles scatter the light, and the intensity of scattered light is measured at a specific angle to determine turbidity in NTU.

Applications:

• Drinking water quality testing
• Wastewater and effluent monitoring
• Environmental water analysis (rivers, lakes, reservoirs)
• Food and beverage industries
• Pharmaceutical quality control
• Laboratory research and education
