The Hanna HI98703 Turbidity Portable Meter is a high-accuracy, EPA-compliant handheld turbidity meter engineered for precise water quality testing in field and laboratory environments. Designed to meet or exceed EPA Method 180.1 and Standard Methods 2130 B, this rugged instrument delivers reliable turbidity measurements essential for environmental monitoring, drinking water analysis, and wastewater compliance.

Key Features

• EPA-Compliant Turbidity Measurement: Meets and exceeds requirements of EPA Method 180.1 and Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Wastewater 2130 B for reporting and regulatory accuracy.
• High Accuracy & Optical System: ±2 % of reading plus 0.02 NTU accuracy with a state-of-the-art optical system that minimizes stray light and color interference.
• Multiple Reading Modes: Normal, continuous, and signal averaging modes for flexible field measurement strategies.
• Calibration with Primary Standards: Includes AMCO-AEPA-1 primary turbidity standards for two, three, or four-point calibration and performance verification.
• Fast Tracker™ Tag System: Optional Fast Tracker™ Tag Identification System (T.I.S.) supports time and location recording for field sampling.
• GLP Data & Traceability: Good Laboratory Practice features log calibration points, date, and time for data traceability.
• Data Logging & Transfer: Store up to 200 measurements and transfer data to a Windows PC via RS232 or USB (with software).
• Backlit LCD: Large backlit display for clear readouts and intuitive operation in varying light conditions.
• Complete Field Kit: Supplied with sample cuvettes, calibration standards, silicone oil, cleaning cloth, batteries, AC adapter, and rugged carrying case (varies by region).

Applications

• Environmental Monitoring: Measure suspended solids and water clarity in rivers, lakes, and streams for ecological assessment or compliance reporting.
• Drinking Water Treatment: Monitor turbidity to safeguard public health and meet regulatory reporting standards for surface and municipal water supplies.
• Wastewater & Industrial Effluent: Assess treated wastewater quality and ensure discharge meets regulatory turbidity limits.
• Field Research & Regulatory Sampling: Portable design supports on-site data logging, GLP traceability, and precise readings for environmental studies and compliance testing.
• Aquatic Habitat Studies: Turbidity measurements help evaluate habitat conditions affecting aquatic life and sediment transport.
