Method and apparatus for measuring the turbidity of liquid media

摘要

The method of the present invention which relates to the measurement of the turbidity of a liquid media, is characterized by the following steps. (i) Placing a measuring cell having a sensor having a light-receiving surface in contact with the liquid media, wherein the light-receiving surface is oriented in a direction permitting bubbles dissolved in the liquid media to float away therefrom and out of the cell. (ii) Cleaning the light-receiving surface intermittently. (iii) Allowing bubbles in the cell to float out of the cell. (iv) Radiating light in the liquid media. (v) Detecting scattered light impinging on the light-receiving surface. The present invention also provides an apparatus for measurement of liquid media turbidity in accordance with the present invention.
