FAQs
1. How to Calibrate Inline Turbidity sensor?
2. What is a Turbidity Sensor and How does it Work?
A turbidity sensor is an analytical device designed to measure the turbidity—or the cloudiness—of a liquid. The turbidity level is determined by the concentration of suspended particles within the liquid, which scatter or obstruct the passage of light. The higher the concentration of these particles, the higher the turbidity, affecting the clarity of the liquid.
Turbidity sensors operate based on the principle of light scattering. When light passes through a liquid sample, particles within the liquid scatter the light in different directions. By measuring the amount and angle of this scattered light, turbidity sensors can accurately determine the turbidity level.
3. How to Select the Suitable Turbidity Sensor for Your Application?
Determine the Measurement Range
Identify the Range: Assess the turbidity levels you need to measure. Do you require low-level detection for clear fluids, or higher-range sensors for more opaque solutions?
Consider the Application
Fermentation and Biomass Growth: Look for sensors that offer optical density measurements crucial for monitoring biomass growth.
Crystallization and Phase Separation: Choose sensors adept at detecting changes during crystallization or phase separation processes.
Water and Oil Measurements: Opt for sensors that can discern water content within oils.
Filtration Processes: For filter breakthroughs and post-filtration processes like beer clarity, select sensors designed to detect these specific changes.
Wastewater Treatment: In processes such as activated sludge and other wastewater applications, choose robust sensors that handle variable turbidity levels.
Evaluate Sensor Features
Durability and Maintenance: Consider sensors with easy maintenance features and robust designs for long-term use.
Compatibility and Calibration: Ensure compatibility with existing systems and check if the sensor offers reliable calibration options.
