Lutron Turbidity Meter TU-2016

A Portable Turbidimeter is a handheld diagnostic tool used to measure the "cloudiness" or turbidity of a liquid. In the field, it is the primary way environmental scientists and water technicians determine if water is clean, contaminated, or effectively filtered. A portable turbidimeter is a handheld, battery-operated instrument used to measure the turbidity of a liquid-essentially, how cloudy or hazy it is. Turbidity is caused by suspended particles like silt, clay, microorganisms, and organic matter that scatter and absorb light.

The standard unit of measurement is the Nephelometric Turbidity Unit (NTU).

Most modern portable turbidimeters use a technique called Nephelometry.

The Process : The device shines a light beam (usually a tungsten lamp or an infrared LED) into a small glass vial containing the water sample.

The Measurement : Suspended particles (silt, algae, microbes) scatter the light. A sensor positioned at a 90° angle to the light source measures the intensity of this scattered light.

The Result : The more light that hits the 90° sensor, the higher the turbidity, measured in NTU (Nephelometric Turbidity Units) or FNU (Formazin Nephelometric Units).

Most modern portable turbidimeters use the nephelometric method defined by the US EPA. They have a light source (usually an LED) and a photodetector set at a 90-degree angle to the light path.

The instrument shines a beam of light into the water sample.

Suspended particles scatter the light.

The detector at 90° measures the intensity of this scattered light.

The more light scattered, the higher the turbidity reading.

Many advanced models also use ratiometric or multiple-detector technology (detectors at 90°, 180°, and other angles) to compensate for color absorption and varying particle sizes, improving accuracy across a wide range.

Portable Turbidity Feature
  • Portability & Durability: Rugged, waterproof (IP67 rating common), lightweight design for field use.
  • Measurement Range: Typically from 0 to 1000+ NTU (some go up to 4000 NTU). High-precision models focus on the low range (0-10 NTU) for drinking water compliance.
  • Accuracy & Resolution: Critical for low-level measurements. Look for instruments meeting regulatory standards (EPA Method 180.1, ISO 7027).
  • Calibration: Easy, menu-driven calibration using AMCO/AEPA-style primary standards (e.g., formazin polymer gels or stable suspensions).
  • Data Logging & Connectivity: Most store hundreds of readings with time/date stamps and offer USB or Bluetooth connectivity to transfer data to a computer or smartphone.
  • Display & Interface: Backlit LCD screens with intuitive menus.
  • Power Source: Rechargeable Li-ion batteries or standard AA batteries.
