until the amounts of turbidity in each column are equal.
Count each
0.5 ml addition of the reagent added.
Mix the contents of the tube
after each addition of the turbidity reagent.
Each 0.5 ml addition to
the 50 ml size is equal to (5) Jackson Turbidity Units (JTU).
If a 25
ml size sample is used,
each 0.5 ml additon of the standard turbidity
reagent is equal to (10) Jackson Turbidity Units (JTU).
See the com-
pilation below (table 2-10).
Rinse both tubes carefully after each
determination.
