FAQs of Field Turbidity Meter:
Q: How does the Field Turbidity Meter measure water turbidity?
A: The meter uses an infrared LED light source (850 nm) to analyze light scattered by particles in water. This method, based on nephelometric principles, provides accurate turbidity readings displayed on the large LCD digital screen.
Q: What types of environments is this turbidity meter suitable for?
A: It is ideal for various environments, including field analysis, laboratory testing, and environmental monitoring. Thanks to its IP65 water-resistant rating and sturdy ABS plastic body, it performs well even in rugged or wet field conditions.
Q: When should I calibrate the turbidity meter?
A: Although the device is factory calibrated for convenience, user calibration is available and recommended if your readings seem inconsistent or before conducting highly sensitive tests to maintain optimal accuracy.
Q: Where can this turbidity meter be used most effectively?
A: The meter is most effective for on-site measurements in locations like rivers, lakes, reservoirs, and industrial discharge points, as well as in laboratories for quality control or research purposes.
Q: What is the proper process for taking a turbid water measurement?
A: To measure, fill a clean sample cell with approximately 15 ml of water, insert it into the meter, and close the lid. The digital display will show the turbidity reading in NTU within moments, ensuring both accuracy and repeatability.
Q: What is the main benefit of using this portable turbidity meter?
A: The key advantage is rapid, precise, and repeatable turbidity readings on-site, eliminating the need for lengthy sample transport to laboratories. This leads to faster decision-making and increased efficiency in water quality management projects.
