The Required Appliances 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
