imhoff cone with stand

The imhoff cone is a laboratory device used for the determination of settleable solids in water and wastewater samples. It consists of a transparent conical-shaped container with a sharp pointed bottom. The sample is poured into the cone, and after a specific settling period, the settled solids are measured. The cone's design allows for easy visualization and measurement of the settleable solids, making it a valuable tool in water quality analysis. The imhoff cone is commonly used in environmental and wastewater treatment facilities to assess the effectiveness of sedimentation processes and to monitor the presence of suspended solids in water samples. It provides a simple and reliable method for quantifying settleable solids, aiding in the evaluation and optimization of treatment processes.
