Sampling
1. Measure the water sample as soon as possible after sampling. It is possible to store
the sample at 4 °C for 7 days s in plastic or glass containers. The measurement
should be at the same temperature as the sample. Temperature differences
between measurement and sampling can change the result of the measurement.
Notes
1. The photometric determination of Suspended Solids is based on a gravimetric
method. In a laboratory this is usually done by evaporation of the filter residue of
a filtrated water sample in a furnace at 103 °C – 105 °C and weighing of the dried
residue.
2. When higher accuracy is required perform a gravimetric determination of a water
sample. The result can be used to calibrate the photometer with the same water
sample.
3. The estimated detection limit is 20 mg/L TSS.
