VIKING256 Benchtop Turbidity Meter
VIKING256 measures turbidity of drinking water, process water and wastewater by the nephelometric (or ratio) method with a 860 nm LED (ISO 7027): 0–1000 NTU, ±2 % of reading + 0.02 NTU, zero and 1–6-point Formazin calibration, 1000-result GLP memory.
Overview
Applications
- Drinking water: turbidity control after filtration and disinfection.
- Wastewater: influent, effluent and clarifier monitoring.
- Industry: process water, beverages, pharma and chemicals.
- Environment: surface water and field sampling.

Selection guidance
VIKING256 is chosen for routine ISO 7027 measurements up to 1000 NTU. COLO.Science helps you choose standards and vials.
Configuration checklist
- Range: low turbidity (drinking water) or up to 1000 NTU (wastewater).
- Standard: ISO 7027 (LED) or US EPA 180.1 (tungsten lamp).
- Place of use: laboratory bench or field (IP65 portable).
- Calibration: weekly in routine work or before critical tests, from the lowest to the highest standard, then verification.
