BOD Meter
A BOD (Biochemical Oxygen Demand) meter is a laboratory instrument used to measure the amount of dissolved oxygen consumed by microorganisms while decomposing organic matter in a water sample. It helps determine the degree of pollution and the strength of wastewater. BOD is one of the most important parameters in assessing water quality, sewage treatment efficiency, and environmental impact. BOD meters provide accurate and automated measurement of oxygen depletion over a fixed incubation period (commonly 5 days at 20°C). They are widely used in environmental labs, water treatment plants, and research institutions.
- Digital Display: Clear LCD/LED display for BOD values, temperature, and test duration.
- Multiple Sample Measurement: Can measure BOD in several bottles simultaneously (typically 6 or more).
- Automatic Data Logging: Stores and records readings at predefined intervals for continuous monitoring.
- Incubation Control: Maintains constant temperature (usually 20°C) for accurate testing.
- Measuring Range: Wide measurement range, typically 0–4000 mg/L BOD (depending on model).
- Microprocessor Based: Ensures high accuracy and reliability in results.
- User-friendly Interface: Easy operation with start/stop functions and menu-driven settings.
- Connectivity: USB/RS-232 ports for data transfer to computer or printer (in advanced models).
- Calibration Facility: Automatic or manual calibration for dissolved oxygen sensors.
- Durability: Rugged design suitable for routine laboratory and field applications.
