Match sample vials 

For the best accuracy and repeatability of turbidity measurement, using one indexed vial is best choice. If you need to use a few vials, match these vials are 

necessary. 

2.1 

Repeat the steps above for each vial and record the measured values. 

2.2 

Find the closest position of these vials measuring value and mark it. 

Addendum 2. Preparation of Standard Formazin Solutions 

Preparation of turbidity-free water 

Turbidity-free water is used for preparation of turbidity standards and is prepared by filtering deionized water through a 0.45µm or smaller pore-sized 
membrane.   

Preparation of turbidity standards

(3) 

Mix 5.0ml of hydrazine sulfate and 5.0ml of hexamethylenetetramine solutions in a 100ml volumetric flask and let stand 24 hours at 25(±3°C).

 

1000 NTU: mix 25ml of 4000 NTU standard in a 100ml flask, dilute to the mark.

 

500 NTU: mix 12.5ml of 4000 NTU standard in a 100ml flask, dilute to the mark.

 

200 NTU: mix 10.0ml of 4000 NTU standard in a 100ml flask, dilute to the mark. Mix 50.0ml of above standard in a 100ml flask, dilute to the mark.

 

10 NTU: mix 10.0ml of 4000 NTU standard in a 100ml flask, dilute to the mark. Mix 2.5ml of above standard in a 100ml flask, dilute to the mark.
