AK42 Color Tester performs digital readout measurements quickly and efficiently using the Platinum-Cobalt method, which is considered the standard method for measuring colour in drinking water and natural waters.
- The measurement of this parameter is used to assess the potability of water.
- The AK42 Color tester performs True and Apparent colour analyses in the range of 0 to 500 PCU, where true colour is the result of measuring filtered water, i.e. without suspended solids.
- Apparent colour is the result obtained without filtering the sample.
