United States1Attenuated Turbidity 5 Absorbed Light1Scattered Light (1)DISCUSSIONThe application of attenuation in this test method is asa distinct means of measuring turbidity. When measured in the FAU orAU mo
16、de, the turbidity value is a combination of scattered (attenuated)light plus absorbed light. The scattered light is affected by particle sizeand is a positive response. The absorption due to color is a negativeresponse. The sum of these two responses results in the turbidity valuein the appropriate
