  • Page 7: Product Overview

    Turbidimeters may be applicable for water monitoring application in which the expected turbidity is typically less than 10 NTU or FNU . The Lovibond PTV Series Turbidimeters are designed to detect an incremental change in turbidity of less than 0 .0005 NTU when measuring below 0 .05 NTU .
  • Page 8 Introduction Product Overview PTV 6000 ONLY The PTV 6000 Process Turbidimeter is a Class 1 Laser product that includes an interlocked, non-serviceable, Class 3B laser . Two interlocks ensure the user is not exposed to laser radiation . 1. Measurement Module Interlock - The internal interlock disables the beam when the Measurement Module is removed from the flow body, or when the flow body is removed from the Mounting Cleat .
  • Page 9: Rsd Parameter For Ptv 6000

    Introduction RSD Parameter for PTV 6000 Laser turbidimeters such as the PTV 6000 possess highly improved optical qualities to yield a very stable process measurement system . This enhanced stability provides additional information that can be deciphered from the laser turbidity measurement itself and used as a separate parameter to further improve the limit of detection to breakthroughs in filtration systems .
