  • Page 9: Product Description

    AMI Turbitrack Product Description Product Description Application The Monitor AMI Turbitrack is used for the measurement of relative turbidity. It is applicable for natural water, filtering processes and the processing in water supply companies. Measuring Turbidity is a measure of how much of the light traveling through water is scattered by suspended particles.
  • Page 10 AMI Turbitrack Product Description Measuring The light beam emitted by the emitter LED [B] passes through the sample and is received by the through beam sensor [F]. Some light Principle will be scattered by particles contained in the sample and received by the scattered light sensor [D], which is placed in a 90°...
  • Page 11 AMI Turbitrack Product Description On-line The sample flows through the sample inlet [B] and the sample inlet valve [C] into the measuring chamber [A], where the turbidity is Operation measured. From there it flows though the pressure regulator [F] with which the sample flow can be regulated. Then the sample flows via capillary and flow meter [H] into the drain funnel.
