Turbidity is the optical property that causes light to be scattered and absorbed, rather than transmitted.
The scattering of the light as it passes through a liquid is caused by the suspended solids. The higher the
turbidity, the greater the amount of scattered light. The molecules in a very pure fluid scatter light to a
certain degree, no solution will have zero turbidity.
The 

ISO 7027 Method

 specifies the key parameters for the optical system and the method to

measure the turbidity of water.
The 

HI 88713

 Turbidity bench meter is designed to meet or exceed the criteria specified by the 

ISO

7027, DIN 38404 

and 

NF EN 27027

.

The light beam that passes through the sample is scattered in all directions. The intensity and pattern
of the scattered light is affected by many variables including the wavelenght of the incident light,
particle size and shape, refractive index and color.
The optical system of the 

HI 88713

 turbidity bench meter uses an IR LED, a scattered light detector

(90

0

) and a transmitted light detector (180

0

).
