Description
The suspended solids sampler allows testing the quantities of suspended
solids in water, as a step in a procedure of choosing appropriate filter for
the application.
Suspended solids are an important indicator of water quality. Knowing
the amount of suspended solids in untreated water allows choosing the
right filtration grade and screen area of the filter which will effectively
treat the water, and will not require prolonged maintenance. Taking a
well mixed sample is important for getting accurate results.
The sampler is designed for use at the filtration site, not in laboratory. It
is connected to the supply line of unfiltered water, and small part of the
supply stream passes through it during the sampling time. Suspended
solids are separated from the supply water and accumulated in a sample
tube. The parameters of the filter are calculated using the amount of the
suspended solids accumulated in the sample tube during the sampling
time.
