FAQs

1. What is Turbidity?

Turbidity is a measure of liquid clarity that indicates the presence of suspended particles. It is a visually discernible property that can be computed with the turbidity measuring method. High turbidity liquids seem opaque and foggy, whereas low turbidity liquids seem translucent and clear.

2. What is Turbidity Probe and How Does it Work?

A turbidity sensor is a type of analytical instrument used to determine the clarity of a liquid. This clarity is gauged by measuring the amount of light that is scattered by particles present in the liquid. In simpler terms, if a liquid has more suspended particles, it will appear cloudier, and the turbidity will be higher.

How Does It Work?

Light Transmission: The sensor emits a light beam through the liquid sample.

Particle Interaction: As the light travels through the liquid, it encounters suspended particles, which scatter the light.

Measurement: The sensor detects the scattered light. The intensity of scattered light correlates to the level of turbidity. More scattering indicates higher turbidity.

Data Output: This information is then converted into a measurable unit of turbidity, often expressed in nephelometric turbidity units (NTU) or formazin turbidity units (FTU).

3. What Factors Should be Considered When Selecting the Right In-line Turbidity Sensor for an Application?

When selecting the right turbidity sensor for your application, several factors should be taken into account to ensure optimal performance and accuracy:

1. Measurement Range:

Begin by assessing the measurement range needed for your specific application. Different settings demand varying levels of sensitivity and precision.

2. Application Type:

Consider the specific application in which the sensor will be used. Turbidity sensors must cater to diverse requirements, such as:

Biomass monitoring in fermentation processes, where optical density is crucial.

Crystallization processes, where clarity impacts product purity.

Phase separation challenges, requiring precise differentiation between components.

Oil analysis, particularly for detecting water content.

Industrial filter integrity checks to spot breakthroughs.

Activated sludge treatment for optimal wastewater management.

Beer and beverage processing, which involves post-filtration clarity assessments.

Wastewater treatments, where regulatory compliance is key.

3. Environmental Conditions:

Evaluate the operational environment, considering factors like temperature, pressure, and chemical exposure, as these can influence sensor performance.

4. Compatibility and Integration:

Ensure the sensor is compatible with existing systems and processes. This includes integration with data logging or monitoring systems for seamless operation.

5. Maintenance and Calibration:

Investigate the maintenance requirements and ease of calibration to minimize downtime and ensure reliable continuous operation.

6. Cost and Quality:

Balance the initial cost against long-term reliability and quality. A higher investment upfront might lead to reduced maintenance and better accuracy over time.

By carefully examining these factors, you can select a turbidity sensor that aligns with your operational needs and delivers precise, reliable measurements.

4. How Accurate is the inline Digital Turbidity Sensor?

Online Digital Turbidity Sensor offers impressive accuracy for precise measurements in various applications. The accuracy is either less than plus or minus 1% of the measured value, or within a range of ±0.1 NTU (Nephelometric Turbidity Units), depending on which is greater. This ensures reliability and consistency, essential for monitoring water quality in industrial and environmental settings.
