The Required Appliances In Water Testing Labs

By Marissa Velazquez


Equipments used in water testing labs are specially designed to examine and analyze industrial aqua as well as the H2O used in processing factories. There are analyzing equipments, chemical reagents which examine the quality of aqua, quality testing kits and other H20 solutions. These equipments are calibrated to give reliable and accurate results. Below are some of the common equipments used.

An equipment known as BOD analyzer is normally used to find out the short-term demand for biological oxygen in wastewater. The appliance has software for ease of data management and is fitted with a control unit to help enhance the blending process in the laboratory. The gadget has an LCD screen for easy viewing of results. It also enables real time visualization of gas exchange process.

The COD analyzer is used to measure the chemical oxygen demand for waste water use. It works using the principle which is based on UV light absorption through saturated molecules. This equipment is supported by the latest technology which enables it to deliver fast and reliable results. It operates on a unique measuring method feature which enables it to be more effective in controlling temperature of the reaction solution.

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.
