Turbidity Sensor
Precision Monitoring for Water Clarity and Quality
The Turbidity Sensor is a versatile and high-accuracy module designed to measure water turbidity across a wide range of applications. With RS485 output compatibility, it integrates seamlessly into industrial, residential, and environmental monitoring systems, ensuring reliable and real-time water quality insights.
What is Turbidity, and Why Monitor It?
Turbidity refers to the cloudiness or haziness in water caused by suspended particles. It’s a critical parameter in water quality assessment, impacting safety, usability, and environmental compliance. Monitoring turbidity with a sensor ensures:
- Improved water safety.
- Optimized treatment processes.
- Reduced operational costs.
Applications of Turbidity Sensors by NTU Range
| NTU Range | Recommended Applications |
|---|---|
| 0–10 NTU | Drinking water, aquariums, pharmaceutical process water, municipal treated water. |
| 10–100 NTU | Raw water in municipal plants, industrial process water, effluent discharge monitoring. |
| 100–1,000 NTU | Wastewater treatment, river and lake monitoring during floods, construction runoff. |
| >1,000 NTU | Sludge monitoring, mining effluents, pulp and paper industry wastewater. |
