Equipments Used In Water Testing Labs

By Marissa Velazquez


Apparatus used to carry out water testing are specially designed to study industrial aqua and water used for factory processes. Equipment and chemical reagents are usually used to gauge the quality of aqua. Other quality test kits and water solutions can be used. With standard calibration of the apparatus, it is easy to get accurate and reliable findings. Listed below are some of the commonly used instruments in water testing labs.

To be able to establish short-term demand of biological oxygen in wastewater, a BOD analyzer has to be used. They are equipped with software to manage data and a control unit to manage the blending process in the laboratory. It is equipped with a 10.4-inch touch screen, which enables easy viewing. It also provides for BOD and gaseous exchange activities to be visualized as it occurs.

The COD analyzer is used to measure the chemical oxygen demand for waste water use. It works using the principle which is based on UV light absorption through saturated molecules. This equipment is supported by the latest technology which enables it to deliver fast and reliable results. It operates on a unique measuring method feature which enables it to be more effective in controlling temperature of the reaction solution.

A conductivity meter is one important tool in checking aqua pollution. It is used to study all H2O used in industrial boilers. In order to give reliable readings, it has an in built temperature stabilization process. It is designed to draw little amounts of power because it has a power regulator option. It operates by running through four steps and it does not require specialized skills to use.

Dissolved oxygen meters are used to determine oxygen levels in aqueous solutions. Its common applications include in studying of soil respiration where the oxygen sensor is used together with carbon dioxide sensors to improve the characterization of soil respiration. This equipment is easy to calibrate, has an automatic compensation, it has an auto shut off mechanism and low battery together with consumption indicators. It also comes with a large LCD screen for displaying results.

An ion concentration meter is always used to establish the relation between two or more concentration standards. It has an inbuilt memory where it holds the information for comparison before displaying the reading. It occupies a small space as it is designed to operate from a bench top. It has features like large LCD for easy reading and enjoys structural strength for durability. Both the keyboard and display cannot be affected by water. It also has a provision for connection to a computer.

It is important to establish the alkalinity or the acidity of aqua before using it either industrially or for domestic use. To asses this, a PH meter is used. The appliance uses replaceable electrodes that are used to sense the PH of the solution. It also employs the use of microprocessor-based mechanism to generate the findings. The equipment guarantees very high accuracy levels.

Water testing labs are never complete without the availability of a toxicity analyzer. This is an important equipment for detecting the presence of aqua contaminants like hazardous chemicals or metallic substances in the aqua source. Samples of aqua in form of sediments or surface water are used to establish its purity. This appliance is easy to operate, very accurate and cheap to buy.
