VIKING257 Benchtop Turbidity Meter
VIKING257 measures turbidity of drinking water, process water and wastewater by the nephelometric (90°) method with a 850 nm LED (ISO 7027): 0–200 NTU, ±2 % of reading + 0.02 NTU, zero and 1–3-point Formazin calibration.
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
VIKING257 is chosen for simple low-range laboratory checks up to 200 NTU. COLO.Science helps you choose standards and vials.
Configuration checklist
- Range: low turbidity (drinking water) or up to 200 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.
