ECD Triton - Model TR82 - Nephelometric Turbidity Meter - Brochure

The Triton TR82 is a nephelometric turbidity sensor designed for use in water and wastewater. Turbidity, the cloudiness or haziness of a water sample, is caused by par1cles suspended in the water, typically clay and silt. Since bacteria and viruses can be a2ached to these par1cles, turbidity has become a cri1cal indicator of the overall water quality. The Triton TR82 uses and op1cal method for determining the turbidity, a light beam is directed into the sample where it is sca2ered by suspended par1cles in the water. The amount of sca2ering depends on the amount of material in the water, the wavelength of light, and the size and composi1on of the suspended par1cles. The Triton TR82 uses a near infrared LED light source and the 90° sca2ered light method in accordance with ISO 7027 / EN 27027 to assure accurate turbidity values under standardized and comparable condi1ons.
