Turbidity Sensor

The turbidity sensor uses a combination of transmission and 90° scattering in a flow-through system. The two photodetectors for scattered and transmitted light and the light source (IR-LED) are situated in a flow-through system made of stainless steel (V4A).

It can be used to determine the turbidity of fresh water and seawater or other liquids and is designed to be part of a flow-system that is optimised for water quality monitoring.

The sensor can be modified to the customer's needs regarding measuring range and accuracy. The response time is less than 5 seconds. The turbidity sensor provides the sensitivity, accuracy and long-term stability required for the continuous measurement of turbidity in estuaries and lagoons.
