Engineering Measurements of Particles Volumetric measure Units: mL/L Settleable solids 30 minutes settling in Imhoff cone Large particles Gravimetric measures mass concentration = mass per volume of suspension mg/L = ppm by mass (approx) Total solids Mass of everything except the water Evaporate the water off; weigh the residual Total suspended solids (TSS) Filter sample 0.45 to 1 ?m glass fiber filter Dry at 105?C Total dissolved solids (TDS) What gets through the filter TS = TSS + TDS Not truly dissolved -- includes colloids Light scattering Turbidity Light scattering at 90 degree
