Turbidity refers to the scattered component of a light beam which is diverted away from its natural course by optically denser particles in the medium (e.g. solid matter particles).

The measurement is performed by using a 90° scattered light method compliant with ISO 7027 / EN 27027. The measuring method is based on the Tyndall effect. The turbidity of the medium is determined by the amount of scattered light.
