Horiba U-50 Multi-Parameter Water Quality Meters
Horiba's U-50 series is a line of water quality meters that allows you to measure up to 11 water quality parameters at the same time. It is designed to be both rugged and easy to operate, making it a perfect match for field work. Sampling rivers, environmental groundwater wells, lakes, runoff and drainage is an easy task with a Horiba U-52 Series Water Quality Meter in your hands.
All U-50 Series Water Quality Meters measure the following parameters:
- pH
- Oxidation Reduction Potential (ORP)
- Dissolved Oxygen
- Conductivity
- Salinity
- Total Dissolved Solids
- Specific Gravity
- Temperature
- Turbidity
