Use this table to shortlist models quickly before requesting supplier quotations.
| Specification | Why It Matters | Typical Range Across Models |
|---|---|---|
| Measurement Range and Resolution | Match to your sample type; wider range without fine resolution reduces low-end precision. | 0-1000 NTU (portable) up to 0-10000 NTU (benchtop) |
| ISO 7027 / EPA 180.1 Compliance | The two standards use different optical geometries and can give different readings for the same sample. | Confirm which standard your reporting requires |
| Light Source | Tungsten lamp is the traditional EPA/ISO reference source; infrared LED offers longer service life. | Tungsten lamp or infrared LED |
| Accuracy and Repeatability | Determines confidence in results near compliance thresholds. | ±2% of reading; ±1% or 0.01 NTU repeatability |
| Calibration Method | Formazin and AMCO Clear are the two common reference standards; GLP logging supports audits. | Automatic 1 to 5 point calibration |
| Data Logging and Communication | Important for GLP/ISO 17025 accredited labs and remote monitoring points. | USB, RS-232, or 4-20 mA output |
| Battery Life and Power Supply | Relevant for field teams running full-day sampling rounds without AC access. | 500 to over 1,500 measurements per battery set |
| Waterproof / Enclosure Rating | IP67 is standard for outdoor field use in KSA conditions. | IP67 for portable units |
| Sample Cell Size | Confirm compatibility with existing cuvette stock to avoid extra accessory purchases. | 25 mm round is the most common standard |
| Operating Temperature | Confirm the range covers Saudi summer conditions for field-deployed units. | 0 to +40 DegreeC (lab) up to +50 DegreeC (field) |

Models with sub-1 NTU precision and EPA 180.1 or ISO 27027 compliance, such as the Hach 2100Q, Hach TU5300 and WTW Turb 430 IR, are best suited for drinking water compliance testing.
Portable turbidimeters run on batteries, are IP67 rated for field use, and typically cover a moderate NTU range. Laboratory benchtop models run on AC power, offer wider measuring ranges, finer resolution and more extensive data logging suited to accredited testing environments.
The WTW Turb 355 T, WTW Turb 430 IR, WTW Turb 550, WTW Turb 555 and Hach TL2360 all reference ISO 7027 or the closely related DIN ISO 27027 nephelometric measurement method.
The Hach 2100Q and Hach 2100N are both built to USEPA Method 180.1, making them a common choice where reporting must reference EPA rather than ISO methodology.
Portable field meters commonly cover 0 to 1000-1100 NTU, laboratory benchtop meters typically extend to 4000 NTU, and specialized high-range benchtop models such as the WTW Turb 555 reach up to 10000 NTU/FNU.
REDA Water, SOMATCO and the National Company of Industrial Equipment Marketing (NCIEM) each offer installation, warranty coordination and after-sales technical support across Saudi Arabia in addition to equipment sales.
Entry-level handheld digital meters start around SAR 1,500, mid-range EPA/ISO-compliant portable units run SAR 4,500 to 18,500, and laboratory or process-grade instruments range from SAR 12,000 to over SAR 30,000 depending on measuring range, compliance certification and data logging capability.
