Portable Automatic SDI Tester - Simple SDI
Routine SDI measurement can prevent membrane fouling and improve the efficiency of RO systems. simple SDI silt density index meter offers automatic and portable Silt Density Index testing. The Simple SDI microprocessor precision plus high resolution flow measurement guides you through the test process accurately calculates the SDI of the water, eliminating manual calculations and margin of error.
Clear, easy to read LCD display prompts the operator through the test procedure and displays current test data while silt density index tests are underway. Audible alerts notify the operator at the end of the silt density index test as well as if any errors have occurred.

Automatic Silt Density Index Testing Benefits
-
Extremely Accurate: Microprocessor precision plus high resolution flow measurement provides silt density index test accuracy and repeatability far beyond hand testing.
-
Performs SDI-5, SDI-10 and SDI-15 tests in both 100ml and 500ml sample sizes for more meaningful silt density index results and a complete picture of filter plugging.
-
Standards compliant 47 mm membranes for lowest cost, worldwide availability. Our membranes meet the new ASTM D4189-07 standard for silt density index testing.
-
Battery Powered and light weight for true portability. Up to 13 hours of testing between charges.
-
Continuous flow readout (mL/min) provides detailed information in real-time of the rate of filter plugging. This data can be used to manually plot Modified Fouling Index (MFI)-like data.
-
Routine SDI measurement can prevent membrane fouling and improve the efficiency of RO systems.
-
Automated test process for simpler, easier and accurate SDI measurements.
-
Unattended operation. Start the test and return in 15 minutes for the results – saves you time.
-
Real-time display of results including SDI, current flow rate and elapsed time. End of test display includes SDI

New and Improved Simple SDI version 2.0 is the direct replacement for the original Simple SDI, which was retired in 2020.
New and improved features of Simple SDI 2.0 include:
- New Lithium Polymer battery for more tests per charge, lighter weight, longer life, and universal voltage. USB charging cable is included.
- New built-in prefilter to ensure that the flow sensor is protected from particulates.
- New dual pressure regulator design provides safe operation up to 100psi and improves accuracy by regulating the pressure to the test regulator.
- Improved controller now has backlit LCD, real time clock, data storage, and USB computer interface.
- Watertight enclosure (IP66/67) protects electronics.
