FAQ NTU sensor
How to calibrate a turbidity sensor?
Calibration of a turbidity sensor requires the use of certified formazine standards of known concentration. After the initial calibration, accuracy checks are performed by re-measuring the standards. Adjustments may be necessary, and data documentation and periodic repeat calibration are critical to maintaining reliable measurements.
How to maintain a turbidity probe?
Maintenance of a turbidity sensor is essential to ensure optimum performance. Clean the sensor regularly to remove deposits that can affect measurements. An automatic cleaning system, as offered with the LowTuS Premium version, or anti-fouling accessories such as the hydroclean for the NTU probe, can optimize cleaning frequency. Calibrate the sensor periodically with known turbidity standards. Ensure that the sensor is protected from physical shock. Record calibration data and perform periodic checks.
Are Aqualabo’s turbidity solutions suitable for portable applications?
How do the LowTuS sensor handle bubbles and deposits that may affect measurements?
The LowTuS sensor is equipped with special features, including debubbling and optional automatic cleaning systems. These features prevent interference from bubbles and deposits, ensuring accurate measurements even under difficult conditions. This design innovation increases the reliability of Aqualabo probes in providing accurate turbidity data for various applications.
