Nephelometric Turbidity Unit (see comment!)
Subject Area 1:
Science
Remarks:
Brine turbidity is due to suspended solids, insoluble in water. Quantity, type and particle size distribution of solids affect brine quality.
Turbidity is expressed as Nephelometric Turbidity Units (NTU): low NTU values indicate that brine is “clear” (low solids content).
