What does TSS stand for?
Think about what kinds of materials are measured in water.
What is filtration?
Consider the method used in a lab to measure suspended particles.
What does TSS measure?
Think about the contents in murky water.
Is a measurement of 0 TSS always accurate?
Consider the limits of measuring instruments.
A technician collects a water sample with a known TSS of 0.4 g/L in a 1-liter container. After filtration, the weighing balance reads 0.1 grams more than the empty filter weight. How would the technician confirm the reading is reliable?
What steps did we talk about to ensure reliability?
You have two samples: Sample A with TSS of 0.05 g/L and Sample B with TSS of 0.15 g/L. If both are filtered with a 1-liter sample, which sample would require a larger volume for reliable TSS measurement?
Think about how low concentrations can be accurately detected.
