Principle of Operation
  • Infrared LED emits light into the media through the sapphire lens
  • Receiver measures the amount of light reflected back by particles suspended in the media
  • A signal is generated that is proportional to the amount of particles = relative turbidity
  • The relative turbidity is based on the Negele calibration standard and is displayed in %TU, NTU or EBC
