HI98703

12 Turbidity Meter
Fast Tracker™ Technology,
EPA Compliant

The HI98703 Precision Turbidity Portable

Meter is specially designed for water quality
measurements, providing reliable and
accurate readings, especially in the low
turbidity range. The instrument is based
on a state-of-the-art optical system which
guarantees accurate results, assures long
term stability, and minimizes stray light and
color interferences. Periodic calibration with
the supplied standards compensates for
