The Required Appliances In Water Testing Labs

By Marissa Velazquez


Water testing labs are very important for successful study of aqua analysis. They help with distinguishing H20 that is good for domestic consumption and that which is only fit for industrial work. For the smooth running of these institutions, special equipment and chemical substances are used to assess the suitability of aqua. Recent inventions have come up with useful test kits that make the work a bit easier. Shared below are some of the equipment that these institutions cannot operate without.

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.

To be able to find out the chemical oxygen demand of wastewater, a COD analyzer must be used. This applies the principle of measuring UV light absorption through a high concentration of molecules. This equipment exploits the latest technology to realize reliability and speed in testing. A unique mechanism is incorporated that ensures that the temperature of the reacting solution is controlled.

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.

An ion concentration meter is always used to establish the relation between two or more concentration standards. It has an inbuilt memory where it holds the information for comparison before displaying the reading. It occupies a small space as it is designed to operate from a bench top. It has features like large LCD for easy reading and enjoys structural strength for durability. Both the keyboard and display cannot be affected by water. It also has a provision for connection to a computer.

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.

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.
