1、Designation:D731517Standard Test Method forDetermination of Turbidity Above 1 Turbidity Unit(TU)inStatic Mode1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D7315;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last
2、revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope*1.1 This test method covers the static determination ofturbidity in water.Static refers to a sample that is removedfrom its source
3、and tested in an isolated instrument.(SeeSection 4.)1.2 This test method is applicable to the measurement ofturbidities greater than 1.0 turbidity unit(TU).The upper endof the measurement range was left undefined because differenttechnologies described in this test method can cover verydifferent ran
4、ges.The round robin study covered the range of04000 turbidity units because instrument verification in thisrange can typically be covered by standards that can beconsistently reproduced.1.3 Many of the turbidity units and instrument designscovered in this test method are numerically equivalent incal
5、ibration when a common calibration standard is appliedacross those designs listed in Table 1.Measurement of acommon calibration standard of a defined value will alsoproduce equivalent results across these technologies.1.3.1 In this test method calibration standards are oftendefined in NTU values,but
6、 the other assigned turbidity units,such as those in Table 1 are equivalent.For example,a 1 NTUformazin standard is also a 1 FNU,a 1 FAU,a 1 BU,and soforth.1.4 This test method does not purport to cover all availabletechnologies for high-level turbidity measurement.1.5 This test method was tested on
7、 different natural watersand wastewater,and with standards that will serve as surro-gates to samples.It is the users responsibility to ensure thevalidity of this test method for waters of untested matrices.1.6 Depending on the constituents within a high-levelsample,the proposed sample preparation an
8、d measurementmethods may or may not be applicable.Those samples with thehighest particle densities typically prove to be the most difficultto measure.In these cases,and alternative measurementmethod such as the process monitoring method can be consid-ered.1.7 This standard does not purport to addres
9、s all of thesafety concerns,if any,associated with its use.It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.Refer to the MSDSsfor all chemicals used in this procedure.1.8
