Measuring Principle of the Relative Turbidity Meter
An infrared diode irradiates infrared light into the media. Particles in the media Receiver
reflecting the irradiated light which is detected by the receiver diode (backscatter Sender
principle). The electronics calculates the relative turbidity of the media according
to the received signal.
The relative turbidity is based on the Negele calibration standard and is displayed
in “%TU”.

Turbidity Diagram
Depending on particle form and size, the slope of the characteristic curve is decreasing while turbidity is increasing.
This is primarily caused by dampening / absorption effects due to multiple reflections inside the media.
The turbidity measured in the production process can deviate from the graphs shown above, depending on
product, process step and production process.
