Looking for video guides?
We have added some short video tutorials which are designed to give you a brief introduction to installation, calibration, verification and maintenance of the PTV 1000 turbidity analyser.
A user inspired system
8 key factors to consider about the PTV 1000
| Feature | Advantage | Benefit |
| Small volume flow body | Reduced water consumption Faster response times Easier to clean | Reduced water loss Reduced calibration solution requirement Early notification of an event Lower maintenance |
| Internal ‘light dump’ | Captures stray light – increased reproducibility | Improved performance |
| Innovative design | Removes bubble interference Easier to clean No ‘nooks and crannies’ Compact size Easy access for grab samples Icon based interface | Lower maintenance Improved performance Easy operation |
| Mobile interface | Control/manage multiple instruments with one controller Data and statistics manager | All info is in one location |
| Wet standard calibration | Calibration with primary standard made easy and safe | Absolute confidence with no risk to user |
Non-contact stabilised formazin
Safe for the user
The T-CALplus™ packaging is highly durable, which results in the user never coming into contact with the solution. Exposure to chemicals is immediately eliminated.
Easy to mix
For mixing start by squeezing and manipulating the packaging for around a minute to ensure it is accurately mixed, and it’s ready to use.
No Bubbles
Having Bubbles in your sample can be a significant interference in turbidity measurement. Our T-CALplus™ packaging is vacuum sealed, allowing users to mix a bubble free standard.
Interactive view
Discover how the use of T-CALplus™ Standards simplify the calibration and verification process.
Smart interface
Rethink the controller
The PTV 1000 turbidity analyser has two ways for users to interact with the instrument. The user can use the local touch screen, or they can connect to the sensors using the AquaLXP™ App (iOS and Android).
A log of every reading, calibration, verification, cleaning or other maintenance performed over the lifetime of the sensor is registered on the instrument. Ideal for turbidity compliance reporting.
User friendly instructions
By incorporating procedures and technical pointers, all users have quick and easy access to everything they need at their fingertips.
Security
For security purposes, we employ the latest proximity sensors to allow the operator to work on the sensor. Combining this with the ability to password protect two layers of access, operators and supervisors can be assured of data integrity.
Generate data
Operators can extract vital data which can help identify trends faster by viewing or exporting the information for a selected period as a table or as a graph.
Minimal training
App based interface means operators find it easy to use and navigate. No more complicated menu structures!

Monitoring flow accelerated corrosion in combined cycle heat recovery steam generators using online turbidity
Flow accelerated corrosion has been demonstrated as one of the leading causes of corrosion in heat recovery steam generators. However, monitoring of the total iron in the boiler feedwater can be challenging with a lean operation given the low levels of total iron that are to be expected when flow accelerated corrosion is under control.
10 reasons turbidity measurement is challenging, and how an expert team tackled them
Turbidity can be a complex measurement to do, especially at the very low levels required in UK drinking water production. Measurement can be affected by the size and shape of the material scattering the light, the sample colour and then the distribution of the material in the sample.
USER REVIEW
“We have installed 3 demonstration units and each installation was a breeze that delivered excellent data. You can immediately tell it is a better measurement than the older technology by the lower reading it provides. The patented light dump does an excellent job of eliminating stray light.”
