Haze of turbidity is optical property of solid, gaseous and particularly liquid matter. It is due to various types, quality and size of particles from submicrometer to submilimeter dimensions which scatter light. Light scattering used also to determine the haze of turbidity of matter. The magnitude of measured haze depends on both properties of haze forming particles and measuring light scattering probe. These properties and relations are generally nonlinear and complicated. This is valid particularly in the case of haze of beer, brewing intermediates and other beverage products which bear the character of liquid dispersions. Correct and effective use of the methods of haze and turbidity measurements in brewing and other beverage industry including water treatment enables to improve substantionaly the production efficiency. Therefore is usefull to learn these applications by means of systematic education and training. The article describes a modular turbidimetric system, developed on the long authors experience both with practical applications of haze and turbidity measurements in brewing and beverage industry and university teaching of the methods of chemical-physical measurements. The developed modular trubidimeter is designed to be used at various educational levels but it can also help to solve various haze measuring analytical and diagnostical tasks in laboratories of brewing and beverage industry.Haze of turbidity is optical property of solid, gaseous and particularly liquid matter.
