Turner Designs Turbidity Plus with Integrated Wiper

The Turner Designs Turbidity Plus sensor, which has a built-in wiper, is an innovation by Turner Designs for measuring water quality. The device is constructed with precise measurement capabilities for turbidity found in water samples and is equipped with a built-in wiper motor that users can control. Integrating the sensor with multiparameter systems and dataloggers is its sole purpose, as it requires power and wiper motor triggers that can be set by the user at personalized intervals.

The Turner Designs Turbidity Plus sensor is accessible in two direct ranges: up to 500 NTU (Nephelometric Turbidity Units) or up to 3,000 NTU. It has the least discovery limit of 0.05 NTU or 0.5 NTU, depending on the run. The sensor gives a voltage reaction relative to the turbidity of the test, and the turbidity concentrations can be related by utilizing AMCO Clear Turbidity Benchmarks.

One of the salient characteristics of the Turbidity Plus monitoring device is its incorporated wiper system. The wiper guarantees that the sensor’s optical surface is free from debris, leading to dependable and uniform readings sustained over time. The user-controlled wiper motor enables the flexibility to determine when and how often the wiper is turned on.
