TU5200 Benchtop turbidity meter

Principle of Operation:

The TU5200 Benchtop Turbidimeter uses 360°x90° optical path detection technology. A laser illuminates suspended particles in the sample, producing scattered light at 90° to the incident beam. After passing through a conical reflector, the light surrounds the sample at 360° and is then detected by the transmitted light detector. The intensity of the scattered light is proportional to the suspended particles. The TU5200 turbidimeter measures turbidity by measuring the intensity of scattered light produced by suspended particles.

Industry Applications:

The TU5200 Benchtop Turbidimeter is suitable for fields such as drinking water, power, beverages, and pharmaceuticals.

Instrument Features:

• The TU5200 Benchtop Turbidimeter uses a unique 360° x 90° optical path design and detection technology, ensuring high accuracy in low turbidity measurement.

• Single-point calibration is supported in the 0–40 NTU range, simplifying calibration of the benchtop turbidimeter.

• The TU5200 Benchtop Turbidimeter does not require silicone oil or oil cloth to wipe the sample vials, reducing human error.

• The benchtop turbidimeter is equipped with an Ethernet interface and a USB interface, allowing connection to a network or external devices for data input/output and printing functions.

• The benchtop turbidimeter is equipped with a 7-inch color touchscreen, with a Chinese interface for more intuitive and convenient operation.

• The TU5200 Benchtop Turbidimeter allows different levels of password protection to be set, ensuring test security.
