Matching the Sample Vials
For better accuracy and repeatability, using an indexed sample vial is
best choice for turbidity measurement. If you need to use a few vials,
match these vials are necessary.
2.1 Repeat steps 1.1 through 1.6 above for each vial and record the
readings.
2.2 Find the closest position of these vials measuring value and mark
it.
Preparation of Formazin Standards
Turbidity-Free Water:
The turbidity-free water is used for preparation of turbidity standards
and is prepared by filtering distilled water through a 0.45 µm or smaller
pore-sized membrane.
Turbidity Standards:
4000 NTU: Dissolve 1 gram hydrazine sulfate (NH

)
2

SO
4
in the
turbidity-free water and dilute to 100 ml in a volumetric flask.
Dissolve 10 grams hexamethylenetetramine (CH
2
)
6
N
4
in the turbidity-
free water and dilute to 100 ml in a volumetric flask.
Mix 5 ml of hydrazine sulfate and 5 ml of hexamethylenetetramine
solutions in a 100 ml volumetric flask and let stand 24 hours at 25/±3°C.
2000 NTU: Mix 50 ml of 4000 NTU standard in a 100 ml volumetric
flask and dilute to the mark.
1500 NTU: Mix 37.5 ml of 4000 NTU standard in a 100 ml volumetric
flask and dilute to the mark.
1000 NTU: Mix 25 ml of 4000 NTU standard in a 100 ml volumetric
flask and dilute to the mark.
500 NTU: Mix 12.5 ml of 4000 NTU standard in a 100 ml volumetric
flask and dilute to the mark
200 NTU: Mix 10 ml of 4000 NTU standard in a 100 ml volumetric
flask and dilute to the mark. Mix 50 ml of above standard in a 100 ml
volumetric flask and dilute to the mark.
10 NTU: Mix 2.5 ml of 200 NTU standard in a 100 ml volumetric flask
and dilute to the mark.
- Or -
Mix 2 ml of 500 NTU standard in a 100 ml volumetric flask and dilute
to the mark.
