The meter is used to measure turbidity in water samples after calibrating properly. Measuring unit
of turbidity is NTU (nephelometric turbidity units).

DO Meter
The meter is used to measure dissolved oxygen in water samples after calibrating properly. There,
two scales are used to give dissolved oxygen reading; percentages (%) and mg/l.
In the following steps, measuring of dissolved oxygen of a given water sample is explained.
