This elegantly simple apparatus is used to determine the transparency of water in lakes, streams, oceans, and other bodies of water. The turbidity tube is a clear tube with a small Secchi Disc of alternating black and white quadrants. It provides a quick and easy way to probe turbidity, which is a measure of the clarity of the water, which is, in turn, related to the amount of sediments or pollutants in the water.
Features
- MEASURE TURBIDITY || The turbidity tube measures the transparency of the water: a larger Secchi depth means the water is clearer than a shallow Secchi depth which suggests high turbidity.
- KIT CONTENTS || Kit contains (1) Turbidity Tube, (1) Rubber stopper with draining mechanism, (1) Secchi Disk at the bottom of the tube
- MONITOR WATER QUALITY OVER TIME || Regularly recording turbidity measurements over seasons or years can monitor trends in the water quality in time.
- TUBE CAPACITY || This turbidity tube measures 100cm (40″) in length and can hold up to 1.6L of water.
- ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE RESOURCE || Essential tool for ecology education, aquatic environmental research, conservation studies, and water quality analysis
