Mi415 Turbidity Meter
Turbidity refers to the concentration of undissolved, suspended particles present in a liquid.
Turbidity is a measure of the clarity of a sample.
For potable water applications turbidity is a good indicator of water quality.
Turbidity Measurement is achieved by analyzing the amount of light refracted from suspended particles such as clay, silt and organic material.
By measuring turbidity, by photometric or tube methods, it is possible to estimate suspended solids content.
Mi415 has two operating ranges; 0.00 to 50.00 FNU, and 50 to 1000 FNU that can accommodate the most turbid condition you may encounter.
Mi415 is supplied in a hard carrying case, complete with reagents.

NTU is an abbreviation for nephelometric turbidity unit, a unit
used in measuring water quality. Turbidity is an optical property:
the scattering and absorption of light by solids suspended in
water. In other words, water is turbid if you can't see through
it. An instrument called a nephelometer (from a Greek word meaning
"cloudy") measures turbidity directly by comparing the amount of
light transmitted straight through a water sample with the amount
scattered at an angle of 90 degrees; to one side; the ratio
determines the turbidity in NTU's. The instrument is calibrated
using samples of a standard solution such as formazin, a synthetic
polymer. Drinking water should not have a turbidity above 1 NTU,
although values up to 5 NTU are usually considered safe. Outside
the U.S., this unit is usually called the FNU (formazin nephelometric unit).
