FTU stands for Formazine Turbidity Unit

FTU, or Formazine Turbidity Unit, is a standardized measurement used to quantify the turbidity of a liquid. It is based on the scattering of light by suspended particles and is commonly utilized in environmental monitoring, water quality assessments, and various industrial applications to evaluate the clarity of water and other fluids. This unit provides a consistent and reliable method for comparing turbidity levels across different samples.
