What Does JTU Stand For?

JTU stands for Jackson Turbidity Unit

The Jackson Turbidity Unit (JTU) is a measurement unit used to quantify the turbidity of water. It is based on the optical clarity of a water sample, indicating the presence of suspended particles that affect light transmission. The JTU scale is derived from a standardized standard for assessing water quality, providing important data for environmental monitoring, water treatment, and aquatic ecosystem health studies.
