2.3.2.3 Performing Turbidity measurement

Accurate turbidity measurements depend on good, consistent measurement techniques.
This includes working with clean sample vials in good condition and removing air bubbles.
Samples should be measured immediately to prevent changes in sample characteristics due
to temperature shifts and settling.
Instrument operation:
1. Take a representative sample in a clean container.
2. Fill a clean and dry vial with the water sample up to the mark (approx. 12 ml).
3. Cap the vial.
4. Take care to handle the vial by the top. Wipe the vial with the supplied cleaning tissue to
remove waterdrops and finger prints.
5. Switch the instrument on.
6. Place the vial in the sample chamber making sure that the positioning is correct, with the
marks aligned and close the sample chamber with the cap.
7. Press [Read / Avg] or [Read] key.
8. The result is shown in the display in NTU.
