Introducing MANTECH’s T20 Turbidity Meter
What is Turbidity?
Turbidity is the measure of haziness or cloudiness of a fluid by particles suspended within it which are generally invisible to the naked eye. It is one of the key tests of water quality. High turbidity or a large concentration of particles in water can negatively affect its taste and appearance and can affect how the water needs to be treated.
The nephelometric method is the most recent method to measure turbidity in nephelometric turbidity units (NTU). It involves shining light into a sample and recording the light scattered at 90 degrees to the light path. There are two main light sources approved for this method: a tungsten white light source meets US EPA requirements while the international standard is to use an 800nm infrared light source.
The Advantages of MANTECH’s T20 Turbidity Meter
Firstly, MANTECH’s turbidity method conforms to EPA 180.1, ASTM D1889, and Standard Method 2130 B (White Light); ISO 7027 and EN27027 (Infrared) and measures turbidity down to 0.01 NTU, making it well-suited for water sample analysis.
While maintaining the advantages of MANTECHs proprietary flow cell design, the T20 turbidity meter also comes with some additional benefits. Sample volume still flows through the cell from the bottom of the cell and then out the same way which prevents particles left over in the cell.
Additionally, the T20 comes with the intuitive MANTECH Pro Software for automated calibration control, reporting and data management features. Benchtop and autosampler systems are available. The sample volume used in the T20 can be returned to its original sample vessel, allowing multi-parameter analysis. Therefore, measuring parameters such as pH, conductivity, alkalinity, colour, fluoride and turbidity all-in-one system from a 50mL tube is possible!
Moreover, the T20 requires only 15ml of sample and analysts do not need to re-pour samples to retest them. Lastly, the flow cell is non-removable, which eliminates any fingerprints or scratches getting on the cell that could affect results.
