1、Designation: D 7315 07aStandard Test Method forDetermination of Turbidity Above 1 Turbidity Unit (TU) inStatic Mode1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D 7315; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the yea
2、r of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This test method covers the static determination ofturbidity in water. Static refers to a sample that is removed
3、from its source and tested in an isolated instrument. (SeeSection 4.)1.2 This test method is applicable to the measurement ofturbidities greater than 1.0 turbidity unit (TU). The upper endof the measurement range was left undefined because differenttechnologies described in this test method can cove
4、r verydifferent ranges. The round robin study covered the range of04000 turbidity units because instrument verification in thisrange can typically be covered by standards that can beconsistently reproduced.1.3 Many of the turbidity units and instrument designscovered in this test method are numerica
5、lly equivalent incalibration when a common calibration standard is appliedacross those designs listed in Table 1. Measurement of acommon calibration standard of a defined value will alsoproduce equivalent results across these technologies.1.3.1 In this test method calibration standards are oftendefi
6、ned in NTU values, but the other assigned turbidity units,such as those in Table 1 are equivalent. For example,a1NTUformazin standard is alsoa1FNU,a1FAU,a1BU,andsoforth.1.4 This test method does not purport to cover all availabletechnologies for high-level turbidity measurement.1.5 This test method
7、was tested on different natural watersand wastewater, and with standards that will serve as surro-gates to samples. It is the users responsibility to ensure thevalidity of this test method for waters of untested matrices.1.6 Depending on the constituents within a high-levelsample, the proposed sampl
8、e preparation and measurementmethods may or may not be applicable. Those samples with thehighest particle densities typically prove to be the most difficultto measure. In these cases, and alternative measurementmethod such as the process monitoring method can be consid-ered.1.7 This standard does no
9、t purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.

Precision and Bias816.1 This test method was tested on 21 different laboratoriesthat were assembled at a common site. Each laboratoryco
32、nsisted of an operator and an instrument (turbidimeter) thatoperated using a specific technology and traceable reportingunit that was listed in Table 1. Testing was conducted over atwo-day period. Fig. 6 is a breakdown of the different labora-tories.16.1.1 Samples24 samples were analyzed in this rou
33、ndrobin. These were broken down into surrogates, real worldenvironmental samples, and United States Geological SurveyQuality Control Samples (USGS QC).16.1.1.1 Surrogate samples were samples of a defined tur-bidity value and prepared from turbidity standard materials.Specifically, these were formazi
34、n, stabilized formazin, andstyrene divinylbenzene (SDVB) materials. Surrogate sampleswere prepared at defined values, but were run as unknownsduring the round robin study. A total of six surrogate sampleswere run.16.1.1.2 Real world environmental samples were samplesthat were collected in the field
35、and shipped to the round robintest site. No preservation action was taken with these samples.Samples were prepared immediately before and during dispen-sation to each of the laboratories. Real world samples includedsamples from streams and ponds. A total of 13 real worldenvironmental samples were an

A measurement included a new dispensation, prepara-tion, and
45、measurement in the respective measurement. Thesetriplicate measurements were then recorded and used in thePractice E 691 data analysis methods.16.3 ResultsResults from this study were expressed inTables 3-7. One of the objectives of this round robin was todemonstrate that different technologies can
46、deliver differentresults on the same sample. Thus, results have been grouped toshow several different comparisons among technologies.Within each table, a generic unit of “TU” is displayed, whichis to infer that depending on the technology used, a specificreporting unit would be displayed.16.3.1 All
47、LaboratoriesTable 3 shows the Practice E 691comparison across all laboratories. Laboratories include: ratioand non-ratio technologies, different light sources (white light,IR, defined wavelengths), and different detection angles (at-tenuated, nephelometric, backscatter). For certain samples, theturb
48、idity value may have been outside the measurement rangefor that specific laboratory. For example, some laboratories areonly capable of measuring samples at or below 40 turbidityunits and for these laboratories, any sample that has a valueabove 40 turbidity units will be above the measurement rangeof
49、 the respective technology for that laboratory (that is, theinstrument). Thus, depending on the sample, the number of thelaboratories participating will vary. The same condition is alsotrue for Tables 4-7.16.3.2 The analysis of data that was generated by ratiotechnologies is represented in Table 4. A ratio laboratory has anephelometric detector plus one or more detectors at otherangles. All detectors work together to determine the turbidityvalue of the sample. The reporting units represented in thistable are NTRU, and FNRU.16.3.3 Table
