A portable ultraviolet light (UV) transmittance meter employs a UV lamp and UV sensor to measure the transmittance of a water sample. The level of UV radiation received when the sample is positioned between the UV sensor and the UV lamp is compared to a level received when a zeroing sample (blank) is positioned in the same location in the same vial. A ratio of the UV signals for the blank and sample is correlated to a transmittance level by a data correlation table or calibration curve. The value provided by the data correlation table is communicated to the user in the form of a transmittance range, within which the sample transmittance falls.
