Global Water WQ770-b Turbidity Meter

The Global Turbidity Meter is a highly accurate device with a fully submersible sensor for in-situ environmental or process monitoring. The meter is provided with a padded carrying case and 25’ of marine grade cable, with lengths up to 100’ available upon request. Method: In accordance with USEPA Method 180.1 for turbidity measurement the sensor is a 90 degree scatter nephelometer where a focused beam is directed into the monitored water. The light beam reflects off particles in the water, and the resultant light intensity is measured by a photodetector positioned at 90 degrees to the light beam. The detected light intensity is directly proportional to the turbidity of the water. The WQ770 sensor utilizes a second light detector to correct for light intensity variations, color changes, and minor lens fouling. Calibration: All turbidity meters are factory calibrated to the highest standards and should not need recalibration for 6-12 months. User calibration, when required, is very easy using the step-by-step scaling process within the display unit.
