Turbidity is a critical parameter in evaluating water quality. Elevated turbidity may indicate microbial contamination or poor filtration. In natural waters, it helps assess ecological balance, while in treated wastewater, it's essential for regulatory compliance.
The HI88713 uses infrared light to eliminate interference caused by colored samples—a significant advantage over white light EPA methods. This ensures accurate readings whether analyzing drinking water, process fluids, or wastewater.
ISO 7027 outlines optical requirements for turbidity meters, depending on the concentration being measured:
Diffuse Radiation (Low Turbidity: 0–40 FNU)
- Infrared wavelength: 860 nm
- Bandwidth: ≤ 60 nm
- Incident beam convergence: ≤ 1.5°
- Detection angle: 90° ±2.5°
- Aperture angle: 20°–30°
Radiant Flux Attenuation (High Turbidity: 40–4000 FAU)
- Infrared wavelength: 860 nm
- Bandwidth: ≤ 60 nm
- Incident beam convergence: ≤ 2.5°
- Detection angle: 0° ±2.5°
- Aperture angle: 10°–20°
The HI88713 fully conforms to these criteria, making it an ideal choice for labs and water treatment professionals requiring ISO-compliant precision.
