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.

An equipment known as BOD analyzer is normally used to find out the short-term demand for biological oxygen in wastewater. The appliance has software for ease of data management and is fitted with a control unit to help enhance the blending process in the laboratory. The gadget has an LCD screen for easy viewing of results. It also enables real time visualization of gas exchange process.

Another apparatus is a COD analyzer; this is used to establish the chemical oxygen demand of wastewater. It uses the principle that measures the absorption of UV light through saturated molecules. This equipment uses the latest technology to ensure fast and reliable results. It has a unique mechanism, which helps with controlling the temperature of the reacting solution.

In order to reduce pollution, the quality of drinking aqua should be assessed using a conductivity meter. This apparatus is also used to analyze all H2O fed into the boiler of an industry. It has an inbuilt temperature stabilization mechanism to ensure reliable findings. It is fitted with a power regulation function that helps to save power. It goes through four steps of conductivity standards and it is very easy to operate as well as cheap to acquire.

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.

Ion Concentration meters help to calculate the connection between two or more concentration standards. It stores this in its memory to allow for the unknown to be read directly. It is comes in a bench top design which enable it to occupy less space. It has a durable construction, large LCD display screen which is easy to read results. The keyboard and display are both waterproof. It allows data relay to PC through a USB cable.

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.

An aqua toxicity analyzer is another equipment used in water testing labs to check for presence of contaminants like harmful chemicals or metals in aqua sources. An example of such chemicals is a pesticide. This equipment helps to analyze the toxicity of samples extracted from either surface aqua or sediments. They are easy to use, very reliable and are not very expensive.
