23、.)4. Significance and Use4.1 Turbidity is undesirable in drinking water, plant effluentwaters, water for food and beverage processing, and for a largenumber of other water-dependent manufacturing processes.Removal of suspended matter is accomplished by coagulation,settling, and filtration. Measureme

24、nt of turbidity provides arapid means of process control to determine when, how, and towhat extent the water must be treated to meet specifications.4.2 This test method is suitable for the on-line monitoring ofturbidity such as that found in drinking water, process water,and high purity industrial w

25、aters.4.3 The instrumentation used must allow for the continuouson-line monitoring of a sample stream.NOTE 3See 7.2 for discussion on signal spikes resulting frombubbles.4.4 When reporting the measured result, appropriate unitsshould also be reported. The units are reflective of thetechnology used t

27、.4.2 For a specific design that falls outside of the reportingranges in Table 1, the turbidity should be reported in turbidityunits (TU) with a subscripted wavelength value to characterizethe light source that was used.5.

Bubbles cause positive interference and colorcauses negative interference. Dissolved material that imparts acolor to the water may cause errors in pure photoelectr

30、icnephelometric readings (versus ratio photoelectric nephelom-etric readings) unless the instrument has special compensatingfeatures. Certain turbulent motions also create unstable readingconditions of nephelometers.6.2 Scratches, finger marks, or dirt on any part of an opticalcomponent through whic

31、h light must travel to reach thesample, or through which scattered light leaves the sample to adetector, may give erroneous readings. Keep these surfacesscrupulously clean and replace damaged (etched or scratched)components.7. Apparatus7.1 The sensor used for the on-line monitoring of turbidityis de

33、ethods.7.3 The sensor must be designed to be calibrated. Thecalibration should be performed by following the manufactur-ers recommended procedures. If a calibration algorithm forthe instrument is used, it should be derived through the use ofa reference or calibration turbidity standard.7.4 The resol

34、ution of the instrument should permit detectionof turbidity differences of 0.01 NTU or less in waters havingturbidities of less than 1.00 NTU. The instrument shouldpermit detection of turbidity differences of 0.10 NTU or less inwaters with turbidity between 1.0 and 5.0 NTU.D66980727.5 Instrument Typ

35、esTwo types of instruments are avail-able for the nephelometric turbidity method, the nephelometerand ratio nephelometer.7.5.1 The Photoelectric Nephelometer(see Fig. 1). Thisinstrument uses a light source for illuminating the sample anda single photo-detector with a readout device to indicate thein

36、tensity of light scattered at 90 to the centerline of the path ofthe incident light. The photoelectric nephelometer should be sodesigned that minimal stray light reaches the detector in theabsence of turbidity and should be free from significant driftafter a short warm-up period. The light source sh

37、ould be aTungsten lamp operated at a color temperature between 2200and 3000 K. Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) and laser diodes indefined wavelengths ranging from 400-900 nm may also beused. If LEDs or laser diodes are used, then the LED or laserdiode should be coupled with a monitor detection device t

38、oachieve a consistent output. The total distance traversed byincident light and scattered light within the sample is not toexceed 10 cm. Angle of light acceptance to the detector:centered at 90 to the centerline of the incident light path andnot to exceed 610 from the 90 scatter path center line. Th

39、edetector must have a spectral response that is sensitive to thespectral output of the incident light used.7.5.1.1 Differences in physical design of photoelectricnephelometers will cause slight differences in measured valuesfor turbidity even though the same suspension is used forcalibrations. Compa

40、rability of measurements made using in-struments differing in optical and physical design is notrecommended. To minimize initial differences, observe thefollowing design criteria:7.5.2 Ratio Photoelectric Nephelometer(see Fig. 2 forsingle beam design; see Fig. 3 for multiple beam design). Thisinstru
