Filtertrak 660 SC Laser Nephelometer: Epa-Approved Method, Ultra Low-Range Turbidity Measurement

The document describes the FilterTrak 660 sc Laser Nephelometer, which uses laser optics and signal processing to detect submicron particles in water samples. It has a very low detection limit, meets EPA requirements for turbidity monitoring, and provides more sensitive monitoring of filter performance compared to particle counters.

FilterTrak 660™ sc Laser Nephelometer 3

Superior Filter Management


The sensitivity of the FilterTrak 660 sc Laser
Nephelometer improves filter management
throughout the filter run. The graph shows
simultaneous measurements from a FilterTrak
nephelometer and a particle counter in a water
plant. During the ripening process (A), the FilterTrak
nephelometer provided a more revealing profile of
actual filter performance. It also recorded a filter
event (B) that the particle counter was unable to
detect.

The FilterTrak 660 sc is more sensitive than a


particle counter with the convenience of a turbidimeter.

Dimensions
The FilterTrak 660 sc Laser Nephelometer includes two slots designed for 1/4-inch fasteners for wall mounting.
A 1/4-inch NPT compression fitting is provided for the inlet connection, and a 1/2-inch hose barb is provided for the drain
connection. The nephelometer can also be mounted on a floor stand.
