Turbidity Meters – Accurate Monitoring of Water Clarity
Turbidity meters are essential tools for assessing the optical clarity of water. They measure light scattering caused by suspended particles, providing key insights into water quality – whether in drinking water treatment, wastewater management, environmental monitoring, or industrial processes.
At HeylNeomeris, you'll find suitable solutions for precise turbidity measurement.
Why Turbidity Meters Are Indispensable:
- Detect suspended solids and particles that affect water quality
- Enable early detection of filter failures or process deviations
- Ensure reliable quality control in technical and biological systems
- Support compliance with legal requirements for drinking and wastewater monitoring
- Easy to integrate into existing systems
Turbidity describes the scattering of light by particles in water and is a key quality parameter in water treatment.
It is usually measured in NTU (Nephelometric Turbidity Units), FTU (Formazin Turbidity Units) or FNU (Formazin Nephelometric Units).
All are based on light scattering on formazin standard solutions, but differ depending on the measurement method and standard:
NTU is used according to US standards (EPA), FNU according to ISO 7027 with infrared light, FTU is a more general, less commonly used term.
Turbidity measurement is crucial in drinking water treatment, for monitoring filtration and flocculation processes, as well as in wastewater treatment and environmental monitoring. It provides indications of suspended solids, microorganisms or organic contamination and helps to ensure the effectiveness of disinfection processes.
