Turbidity (TURB) measurement
6.9.1
Principle of turbidity measurement
U-52 and U-53 sensors measure turbidity using the Transmitting and Scattering Method. U-52
sensors use a pulse light LED (infra-red emitting diode) as a light source, and detect scattered
light from a 30
angle off center. U-53 sensors use a tungsten lamp as a light source and
detect scattered light from a 90
angle. Both models display turbidity as a ratio of scattered
light to transmitted light to reduce the affect of the color of the sample. The U-53 method
conforms to EPA Method 180.1, and employs wipers to reduce the affect of air bubbles.
U-54 uses a pulse light LED (infra-red diode) as a light source, and detect scattered light from
a 90
angle. The U-54 method conforms to EN ISO 7027.

Standard solution
U-50 series can perform calibration using formazin (NTU) or kaolin standard solutions as a
turbidity standard solution. However, units for the solution used for calibration should be
displayed in measurements. Do not use more than 400 mg/L of kaolin standard solution
because it increases precipitation speed, resulting in measurement error.
