Water quality - Determination of turbidity - Part 1: Quantitative methods (ISO 7027-1:2016)

This part of ISO 7027 specifies two quantitative methods using optical turbidimeters or nephelometers
for the determination of turbidity of water:
a) nephelometry, procedure for measurement of diffuse radiation, applicable to water of low turbidity
(for example drinking water);
b) turbidimetry, procedure for measurement of the attenuation of a radiant flux, more applicable to
highly turbid waters (for example waste waters or other cloudy waters).
Turbidities measured according to the first method are presented as nephelometric turbidity units
(NTU). The results typically range between <0,05 NTU and 400 NTU. Depending on the instrument
design, it can also be applicable to waters of higher turbidity. There is numerical equivalence of the
units NTU and formazin nephelometric unit (FNU).
Turbidity measured by the second method is expressed in formazin attenuation units (FAU), results
typically range between 40 FAU and 4 000 FAU.

Wasserbeschaffenheit - Bestimmung der Trübung - Teil 1: Quantitative Verfahren (ISO 7027-1:2016)

Dieser Teil von ISO 7027 legt zwei quantitative Verfahren unter Verwendung von optischen Trübungsmessgeräten oder Nephelometern zur Bestimmung der Trübung von Wasser fest:
a)   Nephelometrie: Verfahren zur Messung der an Partikeln gestreuten Strahlung (Streustrahlung), anwendbar auf Wasser mit geringer Trübung (z. B. Trinkwasser);
b)   Turbidimetrie: Verfahren zur Messung der Schwächung der durchgehenden Strahlung. Sie sind besser geeignet für stark trübe Wässer (z. B. Abwässer oder schwebstoffhaltige Wässer).
Nach dem ersten Verfahren gemessene Trübungen werden in nephelometrischen Trübungs-Einheiten (NTU, en: nephelometric turbidity unit) angegeben. Ergebnisse liegen typischerweise zwischen < 0,05 NTU und 400 NTU. In Abhängigkeit vom Geräteaufbau können auch stärker getrübte Wässer gemessen werden. Es besteht eine zahlenmäßige Gleichheit der Einheiten NTU und Formazin-nephelometrische Einheit (FNU, en: formazine nephelometric units).
Nach dem zweiten Verfahren gemessene Trübungen werden in Formazin-Schwächungseinheiten (FAU, en: formazin attenuation units) angegeben; die Ergebnisse liegen typischerweise zwischen 40 FAU und 4 000 FAU.

Qualité de l'eau - Détermination de la turbidité - Partie 1: Méthodes quantitatives (ISO 7027-1:2016)

L'ISO 7027-1 :2016 prescrit deux méthodes quantitatives de détermination de la turbidité de l'eau, à l'aide de turbidimètres ou de néphélomètres optiques:
a)    la néphélométrie, qui est une méthode par mesurage du rayonnement diffus, applicable aux eaux de faible turbidité (par exemple, les eaux de boisson);
b)    la turbidimétrie, qui est une méthode par mesurage de l'atténuation du rayonnement, plus appropriée aux eaux de forte turbidité (par exemple, eaux résiduaires ou autres eaux troubles);
Les turbidités mesurées suivant la première méthode sont exprimées en unités de turbidité néphélométriques (NTU). Elles sont généralement comprises entre 0,05 NTU et 400 NTU. Selon les caractéristiques de l'appareillage, cette méthode peut être également utilisée pour des eaux de plus forte turbidité. Il existe une équivalence numérique entre les unités de turbidité néphélométriques (NTU) et les unités néphélométriques formazine (FNU).
La turbidité mesurée selon la seconde méthode est exprimée en unités d'atténuation formazine (FAU), elle est généralement comprise entre 40 FAU et 4000 FAU.

Kakovost vode - Ugotavljanje motnosti - 1. del: Kvantitativne metode (ISO 7027-1:2016)

Ta del standarda ISO 7027 določa dve kvantitativni metodi za ugotavljanje motnosti vode z uporabo optičnih turbidimetrov ali nefelometrov:
a) nefelometrija, postopek za merjenje razpršenega sevanja, ki se uporablja za vodo z nizko motnostjo (npr. pitno vodo);
b) turbidimetrija, postopek za merjenje slabljenja toka sevanja, ki se pogosteje uporablja za vode z visoko motnostjo (npr. odpadne vode ali druge motne vode).
Motnosti, izmerjene s prvo metodo, so predstavljene kot nefelometrične enote motnosti
(NTU). Rezultati se običajno gibljejo med < 0,05 in 400 NTU. Glede na zasnovo instrumenta
se lahko uporabljajo tudi za vode z visoko motnostjo. Nefelometrične enote motnosti (NTU)
in formazinske nefelometrične enote (FNU) so številsko enakovredne.
Motnost, izmerjena z drugo metodo, je izražena v enotah FAU (Formazin Attenuation Units). Rezultati
se običajno gibljejo med 40 in 4000 FAU.

Introduction
Measurements of turbidity can be affected by the presence of dissolved light-absorbing substances
(substances imparting colour). Such effects can be minimized, however, by performing measurements
at wavelengths greater than 800 nm. Only carbon black and a blue colour, which can be found in certain
polluted waters, slightly affects measurements of turbidity in this region of the spectrum. Air bubbles
can also interfere with measurements, but such interference can be minimized by careful handling of
the samples.
It is to be investigated whether and to what extent, particular problems will require the specification of
additional marginal conditions.

Quantitative methods
WARNING — Persons using this International Standard should be familiar with normal
laboratory practice. This International Standard does not purport to address all of the
safety problems, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user to establish
appropriate safety and health practices and to ensure compliance with any national regulatory
conditions.
IMPORTANT — It is absolutely essential that tests conducted in accordance with this
International Standard be carried out by suitably qualified staff.
1 Scope
This part of ISO 7027 specifies two quantitative methods using optical turbidimeters or nephelometers
for the determination of turbidity of water:
a) nephelometry, procedure for measurement of diffuse radiation, applicable to water of low turbidity
(for example drinking water);
b) turbidimetry, procedure for measurement of the attenuation of a radiant flux, more applicable to
highly turbid waters (for example waste waters or other cloudy waters).
Turbidities measured according to the first method are presented as nephelometric turbidity units
(NTU). The results typically range between <0,05 NTU and 400 NTU. Depending on the instrument
design, it can also be applicable to waters of higher turbidity. There is numerical equivalence of the
units NTU and formazin nephelometric unit (FNU).
Turbidity measured by the second method is expressed in formazin attenuation units (FAU), results
typically range between 40 FAU and 4 000 FAU.
