TURBIDITY TEST: WATER TEST 1
Today also, I did the turbidity test on my water samples.

  1. First, I gathered the equipment that was needed which was only a turbidity tube.
  2. I put together the turbidity tube.
  3. Secondly, one by one I poured each of the 5 samples down the tube, stopping at every few seconds to check if I could see the 3 squiggly lines that were down the bottom of the tube.
  4. When I couldn't see the lines, I poured bits of water out until I could see them. I then recorded information down and cleaned up

results shown below;

beaker 1: 16 NTUs

beaker 2: 18 NTUs

beaker 3: 10 NTUs

beaker 4: 40 NTUs

beaker 5: 10 NTUs
