Product Options

Overview

The AQ4500 turbidimeter operates on the nephelometric and ratiometric principles and is the most advanced portable microprocessor based turbidity meter available today. It allows turbidity measurement based on EPA180.1 and ISO 7027, as well as an IR ratio mode that will give results in accordance with EPA GLI method 2. The Aq4500 can take measurements using NTU, FTU, FNU , ASBC , or EBC units and can log 100 data points that can then be downloaded to a computer or printer.

The AQ4500 turbidimeter is supplied with a turbidity standards kit, a rugged carrying case and replacement 24mm cuvettes. It is IP67 waterproof and has a typical battery life of over 100 hours on one set of batteries.
