Which HORIBA U-50 Model Should I Select?
Choose a model based on the required turbidity method and whether water-depth or GPS data must be recorded with each measurement.
Core Water-Quality Parameters
Choose the U-51 when your program requires pH, ORP, dissolved oxygen, conductivity, salinity, TDS and temperature without turbidity or depth measurement.
General Field Turbidity
Choose the U-52 for general turbidity monitoring. Select the U-52G when GPS and water-depth measurements are also required.
US EPA Method 180.1
Choose the U-53 for US EPA Method 180.1 turbidity, an integrated turbidity wiper and water-depth measurement. The U-53G adds GPS.
EN ISO 7027 Turbidity
Choose the U-54 for infrared LED turbidity measurement conforming to EN ISO 7027. The U-54G adds GPS. Depth is available on 10 m and 30 m configurations.
Various sensors have been consolidated into a single probe
Simultaneous measurement and display of up to 11 parameters are possible. The sensors can be individually replaced.
However, only one type of standard solution is required.
Can be easily operated by anybody
Equipped with a one-touch automatic calibration function. The cable connection is an easy-to-attach/detach one-touch type. The data is conveniently displayed in real-time through the Auto-Hold function, allowing for easy visual monitoring during measurements. Furthermore, it is equipped with a diagnostic function that indicates the replacement timing of each sensor and displays errors.
Easy and convenient data management function
Easy computer integration is possible with USB connectivity.
The LCD display makes it easy to read and operate
The data is displayed clearly on the LCD screen for easy viewing. Possible to operate easily with one hand. Various functions are displayed with easily recognizable icons.
Convenient for field measurements
Designed for field measurements, it having been enhanced with impact resistance using soft resin materials. Also equipped with a convenient carrying bag as a standard accessory.
The turbidity sensor (U-53) is compliant with EPA Method 180.1
The U-53 incorporates a turbidity sensor that is compliant with EPA Method 180.1. Equipped with a wiper.
