Apparatus Used In Water Testing Labs

By Marissa Velazquez


Equipments used in water testing labs are specially designed to examine and analyze industrial aqua as well as the H2O used in processing factories. There are analyzing equipments, chemical reagents which examine the quality of aqua, quality testing kits and other H20 solutions. These equipments are calibrated to give reliable and accurate results. Below are some of the common equipments used.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The PH meter checks for levels of acidic in aqua. It contains replaceable electrodes which act as the sensor in the solution. It also uses microprocessor-based functions to give the right results. This equipment is waterproof and very accurate.

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.
