OPTEX, a leading supplier of reliable and convenient sensing solutions, is releasing its novel turbidity meter based on a 900 light scattering technology, for testing the quality of water. The turbidity meter scheduled to be launched on November 30, 2010 satisfies the international standard for turbidity evaluation.
Turbidity meter
The TSC-10 turbidity meter captures the evaluation light from an LED source and the light gets scattered off from the suspended matters which float on the surface of water. The scattered light is measured by an optical sensor that is located at an angle of 900 degrees away from the light source. The turbidity in turn is calculated by the volume/strength of the measured light and the suspended matters’ density in the water. In contrast to the attenuated light technology that has been utilized in the conventional OPTEX turbidity meters, this technique provides highly sensitive turbidity calculations.
The significant applications of TSC-10 involves turbidity calibration in industrial as well as in municipal waste waters; evaluation of cloudiness in water level surface of ponds, lakes, rivers, etc and turbidity monitoring of chilled water surfaces in commercial and industrial facilities.
According to Tatsuya Togo, a sales representative at OPTEX, their company is the first firm to innovate a water quality monitoring system and have advanced various sensors for checking the water turbidity, encompassing turbidity checkers, visibility sensors, SS sensors and many more, which have been widely deployed across Japan. He added that their novel TSC-10 employs user-friendly installation process and easy operation for assessing the water quality and facilitates the water management across the globe.
