WZS-185 High Turbidity Meter
- PRODUCT DETAIL
WZS-185 High Turbidity Meter
Product Introduction
The WZS-185 High Turbidity Meter is a digital instrument designed to measure turbidity in water and other suitable liquid samples. Using a transmission and scattered-light measurement principle, it evaluates the optical effects of suspended particles and displays turbidity readings directly in NTU.
The instrument features a 3½-digit LED display, automatic chromatic compensation, and automatic range switching to simplify routine measurements across different turbidity levels. Its straightforward operation makes it suitable for laboratories, water treatment facilities, environmental monitoring, and industrial water quality testing.
With a compact benchtop design and a weight of approximately 3 kg, the WZS-185 can be integrated into routine water analysis workflows where reliable turbidity measurement is required.
Performance Features
1.Transmission and Scattered-Light Measurement: Uses an optical measurement principle to determine turbidity from the interaction of light with suspended particles.
2. Direct NTU Readout: Displays measured turbidity values directly, simplifying result interpretation.
3. Automatic Range Switching: Automatically switches between supported measurement ranges to improve operating convenience.
4. Automatic Chromatic Compensation: Includes chromatic compensation to help reduce the influence of sample color on turbidity measurement.
5. 3½-Digit LED Display: Provides a clear digital display for routine laboratory testing.
6. Simple Operation: Designed for straightforward measurement without unnecessarily complicated operating procedures.
7. Compact Benchtop Design: Its 380 × 210 × 250 mm dimensions and approximately 3 kg weight make it suitable for laboratory benches and testing stations.
Working Principle
The WZS-185 uses a transmission and scattered-light measurement principle to evaluate turbidity.
When light passes through a liquid sample, suspended particles interact with the light by scattering and reducing its transmission. The instrument detects the relevant optical response and converts it into a turbidity reading expressed in NTU (Nephelometric Turbidity Units).
Automatic chromatic compensation is designed to help account for the influence of sample color, while automatic range switching selects the appropriate measurement range. For reliable results, samples should be prepared and measured according to the manufacturer's operating instructions.
