Turbidimeters
Hach brand turbidimeters are precision analytical instruments used in laboratory water quality testing to measure the cloudiness or haziness of water samples caused by suspended particles, providing quantitative turbidity readings in Nephelometric Turbidity Units (NTU) that are essential for assessing water clarity and treatment effectiveness. These instruments employ standardized light scattering detection methods compliant with EPA Method 180.1 and Standard Methods 2130B, making them indispensable tools for drinking water compliance monitoring, wastewater treatment optimization, and environmental sample analysis where turbidity serves as a critical indicator of water quality and filtration performance.
What is the principle of Hach turbidity meter?
Various turbidity meters and nephelometers are designed for specific water testing applications, from field measurements to laboratory analysis, but all operate on the same fundamental principle of measuring light scattering by suspended particles in water samples. This light-scattering measurement is crucial for water quality assessment, as turbidity levels indicate the presence of contaminants, pathogens, and suspended solids that can compromise water safety and treatment effectiveness.
