Description
It’s Purpose:
The Hach 2100N Laboratory Turbidimeter is used to measure the turbidity (cloudiness or haziness) of a water sample. Turbidity is an important water quality parameter that indicates the presence of suspended particles, such as clay, silt, algae, and microorganisms, that scatter light and make the water appear cloudy. By measuring the amount of scattered light, the Hach 2100N can provide a quantitative measure of turbidity, which can be used for monitoring water quality, determining water treatment efficacy, and complying with regulatory requirements.
Acme’s Summary:
The Hach 2100N Laboratory Turbidimeter is a bench-top device used for measuring the turbidity of water samples. It typically operates by shining a light at a 90-degree angle into the water sample and measuring the amount of light that is scattered by suspended particles in the water. The scattered light is detected by a photometer and converted into a turbidity measurement, which is displayed on the instrument’s display screen.
