White Light Turbidity Meter Apera Instruments EPA 180.1 Compliant

Description

Product Overview

The Apera Instruments White Light Turbidity Meter is engineered to deliver precise, EPA‑approved turbidity readings in a compact, field‑ready package. Built around a high‑intensity tungsten filament lamp, the instrument employs the 90° light‑scattering technique mandated by the U.S. EPA 180.1 method, ensuring that every measurement reflects true water clarity. The device is calibrated with EPA‑approved AMCO high‑molecular polymer standards (0, 20, 100, 400, 800 NTU) that are non‑toxic, disposable, and guaranteed a one‑year shelf life, simplifying routine verification and reducing laboratory waste. A large, high‑contrast LCD screen presents results in real time, while an intuitive menu system reduces the learning curve for new users. Powered by a rechargeable lithium‑ion battery, the meter operates for extended periods without the need for external power sources, making it ideal for remote site assessments, field surveys, and on‑site quality control.

Usage

Designed for water treatment facilities, environmental monitoring agencies, and research laboratories, this turbidity meter excels in a variety of real‑world scenarios. Whether you are testing drinking water sources, assessing wastewater discharge, or monitoring natural bodies of water, the instrument provides reliable data that meets regulatory standards. Its portable form factor allows technicians to carry the device to remote locations, while the battery‑powered operation ensures uninterrupted testing even in off‑grid environments. The meter’s rapid response time and clear readout enable quick decision‑making, essential for time‑sensitive applications such as spill response or compliance audits.
