Multiparameter Water Quality Meter

A portable or benchtop meter, often with a submersible sonde, that measures several water quality parameters at once, such as pH, conductivity, dissolved oxygen, temperature, turbidity and ORP.

CALIBRATION

Multiparameter meter calibration procedures

QUALIFICATION

Instrument qualification (DQ · IQ · OQ · PQ)

  1. 01

    Design qualification (DQ)

    Choose sensors, ranges, cable length, logging capacity and ruggedness for the planned field and lab work.

  2. 02

    Installation qualification (IQ)

    Record serial numbers of the meter and each sensor, install software and check the meter powers on and communicates with each sensor.

  3. 03

    Operational qualification (OQ)

    Calibrate each sensor and verify with independent standards (pH buffer, conductivity standard, DO saturation check) against stated accuracy.

  4. 04

    Performance qualification (PQ)

    Compare field readings with laboratory measurements on split samples and track calibration records over time.

In LimsPulse · Calibration Management

Keep every Multiparameter meter in control: usage logs, calibration and maintenance schedules, and automatic blocking of overdue instruments.
