Introduction
A total suspended solids (TSS) meter is an instrument used to measure the concentration of total suspended solids in water and wastewater, which is the amount of solid particles suspended in the water, and it is used for environmental monitoring, wastewater treatment, and process control. The TSS meter measures the concentration of the suspended solids by various methods, including the optical method, in which a light beam passes through the sample and the scattered or transmitted light is measured, and the turbidity and the suspended solids concentration are related; the gravimetric method, in which a known volume of the sample is filtered, and the weight of the solids retained on the filter is measured; and other methods, and the meter provides the TSS concentration, expressed in milligrams per liter; the TSS meter is available as a portable handheld instrument for field measurements, as a benchtop instrument, and as an online analyzer for continuous monitoring, and it may measure the turbidity and the suspended solids simultaneously, and it provides features such as calibration, data logging, and temperature compensation; the TSS concentration is an important parameter for assessing the water quality, the pollution load, and the performance of treatment processes. Total suspended solids meters are used for monitoring the TSS in rivers and lakes, for monitoring the effluent and the influent of wastewater treatment plants, for process control in water treatment, for monitoring the suspended solids in industrial process water, for compliance with discharge regulations, and for many other applications. With their measurement of suspended solids, total suspended solids meters are essential for water quality monitoring.

FAQ
Q1: What scenarios is this meter used for?
A: It measures or estimates total suspended solids in wastewater and environmental water optically, with gravimetric validation, supporting process and compliance monitoring.
Q2: What standards does it comply with?
A: It follows Standard Methods 2540 for TSS, related ISO and GB/T standards, with calibration using standards or gravimetric correlation.
Q3: What is the warranty?
A: The meter carries a 12 to 24 month warranty covering the unit. Cells are consumables. Damage from immersion beyond rating or misuse is excluded.
Q4: Is it hard to operate?
A: Operation requires trained staff for mixing, sampling and gravimetric checks. We provide a manual and training.
Q5: What is the lead time?
A: Standard models require 7-30 working days. In-stock units can ship within 3-7 working days. Custom configurations or large built-to-order systems may require additional time, and we confirm the exact schedule before order confirmation.
Q6: Is calibration required?
A: We recommend verification against traceable standards at regular intervals, typically every 6 to 12 months, and keeping calibration records for audit purposes. The manual describes the procedure, and reference standards are available from us. Accredited third-party calibration can also be arranged on request.
Q7: Are consumables universal?
A: Cells are model-specific, while filters for gravimetric checks are standard. Ongoing cost is minimal.
Q8: Can it be customized?
A: Yes, several configurations are available. Options include data logging, range and field cases. We can discuss further custom requirements, confirm feasibility and advise any effect on the schedule before the order is confirmed.
Q9: Is installation included?
A: Standard delivery includes the meter and manual. Installation is not required, with training available.
Q10: What samples are compatible?
A: It handles well-mixed water with suspended solids within range. It is not for settled samples measured without mixing, non-aqueous liquids, or solids beyond the optical range.
