Nephelometric turbidity units to Jackson turbidity units
Type a value in NTU to get it in JTU instantly.
0.2632JTU
That's about the same as the drinking water limit. That is visibly cloudy.
Convert the other way: JTU to NTU
What it means
How cloudy is it?
Suspended solids and Secchi depth are correlations, not conversions: the same NTU from fine clay and from algae gives quite different figures.
The math
How to convert NTU to JTU
To convert nephelometric turbidity units to Jackson turbidity units, multiply by 0.0526316.
Example: 5 NTU × 0.0526316 = 0.263158 JTU.
In the other direction, 1 JTU = 19 NTU.
