Turbidity meters measure the amount of light scattered at a specific angle, and convert that reading into a turbidity measurement 16. Some turbidimeters are designed to compensate for color absorption and high turbidities, while others are intended for precise and accurate readings at very low turbidity levels.
What is the principle of turbidity meter?
A turbidity probe works by sending a light beam into the water to be tested. This light will then be scattered by any suspended particles. A light detector is placed at (usually) a 90 degree angle to the light source, and detects the amount of light that is reflected back at it.
What is turbidity and How Is It measured?
Turbidity is the measure of relative clarity of a liquid. It is an optical characteristic of water and is a measurement of the amount of light that is scattered by material in the water when a light is shined through the water sample. ... Turbidity is measured in Nephelometric Turbidity Units (NTU).
