Nonturbid

Nonturbid is an adjective used to describe a liquid that is clear and free from suspended particles. It indicates a state of purity and transparency. In scientific contexts, nonturbid refers to a liquid that does not scatter light, meaning light can pass through it without significant obstruction. This is the opposite of turbid, which describes a liquid that is cloudy or opaque due to the presence of suspended matter such as sediment, microorganisms, or other impurities. A nonturbid liquid typically has a low turbidity measurement, often close to zero on standard turbidity scales. Observing nonturbidity in water, for example, is often an indicator of its potability or suitability for certain industrial processes where clarity is essential. The absence of turbidity suggests that solid matter has either settled out, been filtered, or never existed in the liquid in the first place.
