Introduction Lutron TU-2016 Turbidity Meter

The Lutron TU-2016 Turbidity Meter solves one of the most critical challenges in water quality management: measuring how suspended particles reduce water clarity. Turbidity — expressed in Nephelometric Turbidity Units (NTU) — directly affects the safety of drinking water, the performance of water treatment systems, the condition of aquatic ecosystems, and the quality of food and beverage production. Regulators, engineers, and environmental scientists depend on reliable turbidity data to protect public health and maintain environmental standards. Lutron TU-2016 Turbidity Meter

Lutron Electronic Enterprise Co., Ltd. of Taiwan designed the TU-2016 to meet ISO 7027, the international standard for water quality turbidity measurement using infrared light at 850 nm. This wavelength reduces interference from sample colour and organic matter, so the meter captures true turbidity rather than a combined response to colour and cloudiness. The automatic dual-range design — 0.00 to 50.00 NTU and 50 to 1,000 NTU — means the instrument handles clean drinking water samples and turbid industrial effluent samples without any manual range switching.

Moreover, the Lutron TU-2016 Turbidity Meter reaches professionals across a wide spectrum of industries in Bangladesh. Municipal water authorities use it to verify treatment plant output. Environmental agencies deploy it for river and estuary monitoring. Food and beverage manufacturers use it for in-process quality control. Therefore, ASTZ Bangladesh stocks this instrument as a first-choice turbidity solution Lutron TU-2016 Turbidity Meter

Key Features Lutron TU-2016 Turbidity Meter

1. ISO 7027 Compliant Optical System — The 850 nm infrared LED and 90-degree nephelometric photodiode configuration meet the international standard for turbidity measurement, so test results carry full regulatory authority.
2. Automatic Dual-Range 0.00–1,000 NTU — The meter switches automatically between the 0.00–50.00 NTU low range and the 50–1,000 NTU high range, covering clean drinking water and highly turbid industrial samples in one instrument.
3. High Resolution of 0.01 NTU — In the low range (0.00–49.99 NTU), the meter resolves readings to 0.01 NTU, making it precise enough for potable water compliance testing.
4. Accuracy ±5% F.S. or ±0.5 NTU — The guaranteed accuracy specification ensures that results meet the tolerance requirements of water quality regulations and industrial process control standards.
5. 850 nm Infrared LED Light Source — The infrared wavelength minimises interference from sample color and dissolved organic compounds, delivering turbidity readings that reflect suspended particle concentration rather than color effects.
6. Jumbo 41 mm × 34 mm LCD Display — The large display presents readings clearly in direct sunlight and indoor laboratory conditions, reducing operator eye strain during high-volume testing sessions.
7. Data Hold Function — A single button press freezes the current reading on the display, so operators record the value without rushing or risking misreading a fluctuating screen.
8. Max/Min Memory Recall — The meter automatically records the highest and lowest readings during a test session, enabling operators to track turbidity variation over time without manual logging.
9. Two-Point Calibration (0 NTU and 100 NTU) — The factory-supplied calibration solutions allow users to verify and restore instrument accuracy at two key points on the measurement range.
10. Auto Power-Off with 10-Minute Timer — The automatic shutdown feature conserves battery life during field use, extending operation from a single set of six AAA batteries across many test sessions.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) digital turbidity meter Bangladesh

Q1. What does NTU stand for, and what range does the Lutron TU-2016 cover?

NTU stands for Nephelometric Turbidity Unit — the standard unit that quantifies water cloudiness by measuring how much a water sample scatters an incident light beam at 90 degrees. The Lutron TU-2016 covers an automatic dual range of 0.00 to 50.00 NTU in the low range and 50 to 1,000 NTU in the high range.

Q5. How much sample volume does the TU-2016 require per test?

The meter requires a minimum of 10 mL of sample per test. Fill the testing bottle to the marked level, align the white marks on the bottle and the sample chamber, and insert the bottle fully before pressing the TEST button. Always rinse the testing bottle twice with distilled water between different samples to prevent cross-contamination from the previous measurement. Lutron TU-2016 Turbidity Meter
