SKU: SEN0554
This non-contact turbidity sensor detects water quality via optics, measuring light transmittance/scattering rate in 40-50mm transparent containers and outputting analog values for turbidity. It has two infrared probes (oppositely installed, activated when liquid level is higher) and resists water/chemical corrosion due to non-contact design.

FAQ
How does the sensor output reflect the liquid turbidity?
The relation between the sensor output and turbidity is shown as the curve below.
The relation between the sensor output and turbidity is shown as the curve below.
Can the UART Non-contact Optical Turbidity Sensor operate at a voltage of 3.3V?
How to calculate the conversion of AD data from sensors into dirty data for UART Non-contact Optical Turbidity Sensor?
There are two formats for reading data from the host. One is dirty data, which ranges from 0 to 255, and the other is AD data, which ranges from 0 to 4095. For example, if the AD data is 0X64, which is equivalent to 100 in decimal, it needs to be mapped to the range of 0 to 255. The calculation would be 255 * 100 / 4095 = 6, so the dirty data would be 6. The corresponding voltage is calculated as 5V / 255 * 6 = 0.1V.
Will the IR work through on a 25mm blue MDPE water pipe? The thickness of the plastic is 4.6mm
For the first question, we do not have fairly precise values.
And for your second question, there are threaded holes on both sides of the sensor probe that you can use to secure it to the vessel wall.
