About Water Quality Testing Instruments

Water quality testing instruments are used to test water for chemical and biological agents, and to measure variables such as clarity and rate of movement. There are many different types of products. Interface level analyzers are designed to detect the level of an oil and water interface. By contrast, oil in water monitors are designed to measure the amount of oil in water. Potential of hydrogen (pH) instruments measure pH levels. Voltammetry water quality testing instruments vary electric potential while measuring the resultant current, which can be used to determine the chemistry of the conducting medium. Devices use either anodic stripping voltammetry or cathodic stripping voltammetry. Water quality testing instruments that measure conductivity, dissolved solids, suspended solids, turbidity, dissolved oxygen, dissolved carbon dioxide, biological oxygen demand (BOD), chlorophyll, and algal pigments are also available. 


Products & Services Related to Water Quality Testing Instruments

Conductivity and Resistivity Meters
Conductivity meters, dissolved solids meters, and resistivity meters are analytical instruments that measure the conductivity, dissolved solids, and/or resistivity of a liquid sample.
Dissolved CO2 Instruments
Dissolved CO2 instruments are analytical devices that measure the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) dissolved in a liquid sample such as water. They typically include a submerged probe that is covered by a thin organic membrane.
Dissolved Oxygen Meters
Dissolved oxygen meters are analytical instruments that are used to measure the amount of oxygen dissolved in a liquid sample.
Ion Specific Electrode Meters
Ion specific electrode meters are millivolt meters that interface with ion selective electrodes (ISEs). These meters take the potential generated by the electrode and convert it into units of concentration.
Oil In Water Monitors
Oil in water monitors are used to detect the presence of hydrocarbons in water.
pH and Oxidation Reduction Potential (ORP) Instruments
pH and oxidation reduction potential (ORP) instruments measure or monitor pH (relative concentration of hydrogen ions [H+] in a solution) as well as ORP.
Turbidity Instruments
Turbidity instruments measure the average volume of light scattering over a defined angular range. Both particle size and concentration of suspended solids as well as dissolved solids can affect the reading.
