Measuring water clarity to assess suspended particles, filtration efficiency, and treatment performance.
A turbidity sensor measures the cloudiness or haziness of a liquid, caused by suspended particles such as silt, clay, organic matter, and microorganisms. Turbidity is a key indicator of water quality and treatment effectiveness.
Turbidity sensors operate by projecting a light beam into a liquid and measuring the amount of light scattered by suspended particles. The intensity of scattered light is proportional to the turbidity of the sample.
The measured value directly represents the level of suspended particles in a liquid.
Turbidity trends indirectly indicate filtration efficiency, sediment intrusion, biological growth, process upset conditions, and potential regulatory non-compliance.
With Industrial IoT integration, turbidity sensors enable continuous monitoring of water clarity, early detection of contamination events, automated filter backwash control, and compliance-ready reporting.
The Turbidity Sensor makes water clarity measurable. By translating visual cloudiness into data, it supports clean water delivery, efficient treatment processes, and environmental protection.
