Eisco - Transparent Turbidity Tube, 40" (100cm), Includes Secchi Disk & Drain Stopper, Water Clarity Measurement, Environmental Science Tool

This elegantly simple apparatus is used to determine the transparency of water in lakes, streams, oceans, and other bodies of water. The turbidity tube is a clear tube with a small Secchi Disc of alternating black and white quadrants. It provides a quick and easy way to probe turbidity, which is a measure of the clarity of the water, which is, in turn, related to the amount of sediments or pollutants in the water.

• MEASURE TURBIDITY || The turbidity tube measures the transparency of the water: a larger Secchi depth means the water is clearer than a shallow Secchi depth which suggests high turbidity.
• KIT CONTENTS || Kit contains (1) Turbidity Tube, (1) Rubber stopper with draining mechanism, (1) Secchi Disk at the bottom of the tube
• MONITOR WATER QUALITY OVER TIME || Regularly recording turbidity measurements over seasons or years can monitor trends in the water quality in time.
• TUBE CAPACITY || This turbidity tube measures 100cm (40") in length and can hold up to 1.6L of water.
• ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE RESOURCE || Essential tool for ecology education, aquatic environmental research, conservation studies, and water quality analysis
