MWEE: Chemical- Turbidity Tube

Tubidity tube.jpg (3.26 KB)
Subject MWEE
Use this clear, redesigned, 120-cm tube to accurately measure the turbidity of shallow or flowing bodies of water where a Secchi disk can't be used. A single operator controls the water-level discharge from the tube by gently pushing it against the ground to activate the stop plunger when the 45-mm Secchi-disk design is visible. This action immediately stops the flow of water to accurately and efficiently measure the water's transparency. The unique tube features a side scale with centimeter and Nephelometric Turbidity Unit (NTU) markings (0 to 122 NTU scale).

Used in place of a Secchi disk for shallow or flowing bodies of water; 120 cm long
YouTube Instruction 

There are four components of the MWEE Stream Study Kit: chemical, biological, climate/weather and soils. Each part has various equipment and testing devices designed to complement your classroom lessons. It would be wise to borrow related equipment and gather as much data as possible per site visit. For example, borrowing the chemical and biological components together would allow for an enhanced experience at a water-based site.
