7.2.1Slope Calibration – Turbidity

This section describes how to conduct a 2-point calibration of the turbidity sensor against a user-prepared 20NTU standard. The calibration requires two steps. First, immerse the sensor in filtered water having very low turbidity and measure the sensor output. Next, increase the turbidity of the filtered water by a known amount, typically 20 NTU, and measure the sensor output again. The analyzer takes the two measurements, applies a linearization correction (if necessary), and calculates the sensitivity. Sensitivity is the sensor output (in mV) divided by turbidity. A typical new sensor has a sensitivity of about 10 mV/NTU. As the sensor ages, the sensitivity decreases. The figure below illustrates how turbidity calibration works. Before beginning the calibration, the analyzer does a dark current measurement. Dark current is the signal generated by the detector when no light is falling on it. The analyzer subtracts the dark current from the raw scattered light signal and converts the result to turbidity. In highly filtered samples, which scatter little light, the dark current can be a substantial amount of the signal generated by the detector.

7.2.2Standardize Calibration – Turbidity

The turbidity sensor can also be calibrated against a commercial standard. Stable 20.0 NTU standards are available from a number of sources. Calibration using a commercial standard is simple. Filtered deionized water is not required. Before beginning the calibration, the analyzer does a dark current measurement. Dark current is the signal generated by the detector even when no light is falling on it. The analyzer subtracts the dark current from the raw scattered light signal and converts the result to turbidity. In highly filtered samples, which scatter little light, the dark current can be a substantial amount of the signal generated by the sensor.

7.2.3Grab Calibration – Turbidity

If desired, the turbidity sensor can be calibrated against the turbidity reading from another instrument. The analyzer treats the value entered by the user as though it were the true turbidity of the sample. Therefore, grab sample calibration changes the sensitivity, it does not apply an offset to the reading.
