Water Testing Equipment

Water testing can range from in-field testing of a single analyte to multiple-component instrumental analysis in the laboratory.

Handheld and benchtop equipment such as electronic meters are available to test parameters including pH, turbidity (the amount of particulate suspended in a liquid), and electrical conductivity.

Water quality testing equipment can be found in almost any laboratory environment, including wastewater and drinking water testing, pharmaceutical and chemical testing, the food and beverage industry, and hydroponics.

What Are Different Types of Water Testing Equipment?

Benchtop and portable instruments are available to measure oxidation-reduction potential (ORP), dissolved oxygen and CO₂, total dissolved solids (TDS), and total hydrocarbons. Multiparameter meters, which are capable of measuring up to 15 user-selectable parameters, waterproof instruments, and meters that can test from only a few drops of water are also available.
