The Chematest 42 is a rugged, waterproof handheld photometer with Bluetooth for precise chlorine, turbidity and other water-quality measurements in the field and on site.
This multiparameter analyser measures turbidity in accordance with DIN ISO 7027-1. Registration as an alternative test procedure to US EPA 180.1 is pending. Each device is individually factory-calibrated for low-range turbidity measurements from 0.01 FNU/NTU, with a fixed cuvette position and smart cuvette offset management supporting consistent, repeatable results.
A sealed sample chamber and optimised optical system help ensure dependable readings in demanding field environments. Designed for potable water, swimming pools, industrial systems and distribution networks, the Chematest 42 offers intuitive operation, long battery life and instrument validation using VeriKit.
