The Required Appliances 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.

The BOD analyzer is used to check for short term biological oxygen demand in waste aqua. They have a software which handles data and an equipment control to allow for easy blending in any laboratory environment. Its features include a 10.4 inch touch screen which has enable flexibility due to the perfect viewing angles and graphics. It also allows for BOD and respiration activity to be visualized in real time and standard auto-clean option.

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.

Conductivity meter is used to analyze the quality of drinking aqua to reduce pollution. It is also used to analyze boiler feed H20 for every industry. It incorporates an automatic temperature compensation to give accurate results. It also has a power off functioning that helps to save power for a longer time. This equipment has four conductivity standards, it is easy to operate and it is not very expensive.

A dissolved oxygen meter is another important tool used to estimate oxygen levels in aqua. It is also used when studying gaseous exchange in the soil, this process employs both the oxygen and carbon dioxide sensors to find out the respiration estimates in soil. This appliance is easy to use because of the semi automation together with auto compensation; it also has an auto shut off and consumption indicators.

To be able to tell the relation between two or more concentration standards, an Ion concentration meter has to be used. The device is fitted with an in built memory where the information is held for comparison before the reading is shown. It is designed to be used on the workbench therefore occupies a relatively small space. It has a large screen for easy reading. The key board and screen are covered with waterproof material which makes it to be very durable. The device can be attached to the computer when there is need to.

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.
