removed by calibration and by computation of a TU value with a 2nd-order
polynomial. This section explains how to do a turbidity calibration.

SDVB turbidity standards are used to calibrate an OBS500
sensor. SDVB standards are made for individual instruments. Standards made
for one model of turbidity meter cannot be used to calibrate a different model.
