Bamoport MI 415 is a handheld turbidity meter for field measurements in rivers, drinking water and waste or industrial water. It is used to accurately measure turbidity in the field or in the laboratory. It includes in a rigid case with 1 turbidity meter, 2 measuring cells (10 ml), 3 standard solutions (0, 10 and 500 FNU), 1 microfiber cloth, 1 alcaline battery (9 V) and the user manual.
Fast and easy to use. The code for each operation is indicated on the LCD. The battery icon indicates that battery has to be replaced. A monthly calibration is recommended with the standard solutions.
The instrument may be calibrated with formazine solutions; however the supplied standards are safer to use (not cancerigenous) and stable.
Turbidity is a measurement of how much is turbid a sample. In rivers, it is usually caused by suspended particles or colloidal particles that absorb, scatter or reflect light. In eutrophic waters (with nutriments in excess), it may result of the presence of bacteria and microalgae. By measuring the turbidity (photometric or comparative methods), it is possible to estimate the content of suspended particles, materials.
