Turbidimetry Solutions for Precise Wastewater Analysis

Turbidimetry Solutions for Precise Wastewater Analysis

Turbidimeters are devices used to measure the cloudiness or haziness of liquids. This measurement is achieved by assessing the intensity of light reflected by particles in the liquid, providing a simple indication of the overall water or liquid quality.

Turbidity is a critical measure of total suspended solids in all liquids, including liquid solutions, beverages, water and wastewater. Whether for laboratory or on-the-spot analysis, our range of turbidimeters offers unparalleled precision and reliability. The battery operated portable Turbiquant™ 1100 series, is available with IR or tungsten lamps,  and is designed to meet the specific requirements of both EU and US regulations.

Section Overview

Turbiquant™ 1100 IR Turbidimeter

The Turbiquant™ 1100 IR turbidimeter is your go-to solution for on-the-spot measurements. Encased in a robust, waterproof housing, it features an IR-LED (infrared) light source with a wavelength of 860 nm, ensuring standard-compliant measurements according to EN ISO 7027. For rapid nephelometric turbidity (NTU/FNU) measurements within seconds, the device offers outstanding convenience and accuracy. It can be easily calibrated using the respective Turbiquant™ Calibration Standard Set.

Turbiquant™ 1100 T Turbidimeter

For comprehensive liquid analyses, the Turbiquant™ 1100 T turbidimeter, equipped with a tungsten lamp, offers exceptional benefits. This device delivers fast and accurate results in the field, complete with a waterproof housing and sturdy carrying case for durability in any testing condition. Compliant with USEPA 180.1, this turbidimeter is a reliable choice for meeting environmental regulations.

Ready-to-Use Turbiquant™ Calibration Standards

Our Turbiquant™ calibration standards are unmatched in their stability and ease of use, offering a minimum shelf life of 12 months and complete non-toxicity. All products in this range are recognized as primary calibration standards in compliance with USEPA Method 180.1 and accepted as alternative use secondary standards according to EN ISO 7027:1999. Supplied ready to use, the standards come with an indexing ring for quick and repeatable indexing, as recommended by USEPA.

Outstanding Precision

Our turbidimeters offer excellent precision across various NTU levels, with the following accuracies:

  • 10 NTU ± 1%
  • 100 NTU ± 1%
  • 1,000 NTU ± 1%
  • 1,750 NTU ± 2%
  • 10,000 NTU ± 2%

The AMCO-AEPA-1® Microspheres, cited as primary calibration standards in compliance with USEPA Method 180.1, meet the highest industry standards in accuracy and reliability.
