The turbidity test is designed to give a measurement of the suspended solids content of the final effluent. It is also useful
in following the day to day variation in the quality of sewage and effluent.
The turbidity test uses a specially calibrated plastic tube. This provides the simplest possible method of performing this
important test.

How to Use a Turbidity Tube
Using a turbidity tube is a straightforward process that involves only a few steps:
Step 1: Fill the Tube with Water
Fill the turbidity tube with the water sample you want to test. Make sure to fill the tube up to the top without introducing any air bubbles. You can collect the water sample directly from the source or use a container to store the water you want to test.
Step 2: Allow the Water to Settle
Once you have filled the tube with water, allow it to settle for a few minutes. This step is essential to ensure that any suspended particles in the water settle at the bottom of the tube, giving you a clearer reading.
Step 3: Observe the Turbidity Level
After the water has settled, observe the water level's turbidity using the black marker on the side of the tube. The black marker indicates the turbidity level in NTU (Nephelometric Turbidity Units). The higher the turbidity level, the more suspended particles are present in the water, making it appear more cloudy or murky.
Step 4: Record the Results
Record the turbidity level you have observed for the water sample. You can then compare your results to the acceptable turbidity levels set by your local water authority. If the turbidity level of your water is higher than the acceptable range, it may indicate a problem with the water quality that needs to be addressed.
Using a turbidity tube is a simple and effective way to monitor the clarity of your drinking water. By regularly testing the turbidity levels of your water, you can ensure that it is free from harmful particles that may affect your health. Remember to follow the steps outlined in this blog to accurately measure the turbidity of your water and record your results for future reference.
