SOMQUALITY-NTU
Turbidity Probe NTU
The measurement principle of the SOMQUALITY-NTU turbidity sensor is based on infrared light scatter at an angle of 90°. Thanks to the measurement at a wavelength of 880 nm and the wide detection
range of 0 to 4'000 NTU, the sensor can be used in various water and wastewater treatment applications. Apart from turbidity, the SOMQUALITY-NTU also measures the medium temperature and the suspended solids content.
Features and Advantages
• Municipal wastewater treatment
• Industrial effluent treatment
• Water quality monitoring
• Seawater monitoring, fish farming, aquarium
• Process monitoring
