Abstract
A flow-through visible-light turbidity sensor is constructed from a molded plastic flow tube with an overmolded opaque housing to shield the optical sensing apparatus from ambient light. The housing also secures and covers all electronics for the sensor. The molded parts provide lower cost and less dimensional variation for the sensor as well as the ability to locate conductivity or other physical probe sensor types within the package.
