| description | Turbidity measurements are influenced by environmental factors such as water temperature. We designed experiments to study whether water temperature affects in-line turbidity detection and the potential influence mechanism. A turbidity meter installed in-line could self-record data, including the water temperature and turbidity values. From our experimental analysis, we verified the influence of water temperature on the in-line turbidity. Moreover, the temperature coefficient should not be obtained from the experiment directly because the intrinsic impact of in-line turbidity detection does not come from water temperature. Instead, the effect is derived from the optical components’ heat change. When the water temperature change is insignificant, the in-line turbidity deviation caused by the water temperature can be ignored. However, when the water temperature changes substantially, the in-line turbidity sensor should compensate for the temperature drift. |
