Turbidity Sensor in oil
Matthew.Bernardi 2024-11-26 00:55:44 492 Views3 Replies Hi everybody, I wanted to ask if the turbidity sensors (like https://wiki.dfrobot.com/Turbidity_sensor_SKU__SEN0189) can be used to detect oil turbidity (not water)? Does it still work?

It is designed and calibrated for water. You will not likely get a right result if you immerse it in oil.

The sensor uses infrared light to determine how dirty the water is based on the amount of light transmitted. Theoretically, it is also possible to measure the dirtiness of oil, except that the transmittance of light is different between oil and water, so this may lead to inaccurate measurements.

This sensor uses infrared for measurement and cannot be used in soil.
And I think there is no concept of turbidity in the soil.
