Turbidimeter

Abstract

Provided is a turbidity meter including a main body, a fluid container which is formed inside the main body and in which a fluid is accommodatable, a fluid inlet pipe which is connected to the fluid container and via which the fluid is supplied to the fluid container, a fluid outlet pipe which is connected to the fluid container and via which the fluid is discharged from the fluid container to the outside, a wave source configured to irradiate waves toward the fluid container, a detector configured to detect a laser speckle at every time point set in advance, the laser speckle being generated due to multiple scattering of the irradiated waves in the fluid, and a controller configured to estimate the presence or absence of impurities in the fluid in real-time by using the detected laser speckle.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
