Raven C-10102 Settleometer Kit for SV30 Wastewater Testing
Canadian Supply & Fast Shipping from Ontario
Order your Raven Settleometer Kit directly from Cambridge Environmental, a Canadian-owned laboratory supplier based in Komoka, Ontario.
In-stock orders normally ship within one business day from our Ontario warehouse, helping municipal and industrial wastewater treatment plants receive replacement testing equipment promptly. Contact us to confirm current stock and delivery options for urgent orders.
The Raven Environmental Products C-10102 Settleometer Kit is used to evaluate how activated sludge settles during wastewater treatment. Operators can measure 30-minute settled sludge volume (SV30), observe settling behaviour and monitor changes that may affect secondary clarifier performance.
The clear acrylic settleometer features easy-to-read dual scales showing 0β1,000 mL settled sludge volume (SSV) and 0β100% settled volume. It provides a practical way to monitor activated sludge settling during routine plant operations.
Key Features
- Canadian supply: Available through Cambridge Environmental in Ontario, with shipping across Canada.
- Fast fulfillment: In-stock orders normally ship within one business day.
- Dual-scale markings: Read settled sludge volume in mL or as a percentage.
- Clear acrylic construction: Allows operators to observe floc formation, settling and supernatant clarity.
- 1.4 L cylinder: Designed for settling tests using a 1,000 mL sample.
- Mixing paddle and snap-on lid: Support sample preparation and transport.
- Raven C-10102: Established instrument for activated sludge process control.
Ideal Applications
Municipal wastewater treatment plants, industrial wastewater treatment, activated sludge process control, secondary clarifier monitoring, aerobic digester testing, operator training and routine SV30 settling tests.
How to Perform an SV30 Settling Test
- Collect a representative, well-mixed activated sludge sample according to your plant's sampling procedure.
- Fill the settleometer to the 1,000 mL mark.
- Begin timing and allow the sample to settle undisturbed.
- Observe settling behaviour at selected intervals, including the first 5 minutes where useful.
- After 30 minutes, record the settled sludge volume in mL/L or as a percentage.
For example, a settled volume of 350 mL after 30 minutes corresponds to an SV30 of 350 mL/L or 35%.

The snap-on lid helps reduce splashing when transporting samples between the aeration basin and testing area. Confirm current package contents when ordering.
Understanding Rapid, Normal & Slow Sludge Settling
The settleometer allows operators to observe different settling patterns:
- Normal settling: Sludge floc settles progressively, with clearer liquid separating above.
- Rapid settling: Sludge settles quickly but may leave a cloudy supernatant containing suspended solids.
- Slow settling: The sludge blanket settles slowly, potentially indicating a concentration or sludge-quality issue.
Record results consistently and compare them with your plant's historical operating conditions. A single result should not determine a process change without considering other measurements.
SV30 vs. SVI vs. Sludge Blanket Depth
SV30: The volume occupied by settled sludge after 30 minutes, commonly expressed in mL/L.
SVI: Sludge Volume Index uses SV30 and MLSS concentration to express the settled volume per gram of suspended solids.
Sludge blanket depth: Measures the position of the sludge-water interface in a clarifier. This requires a different type of sampling or detection instrument.
These measurements complement each other in activated sludge process monitoring.
Cleaning & Maintenance
Rinse the settleometer after testing and clean using warm water and a suitable detergent. Avoid abrasive pads, scouring powder and harsh cleaning methods that could scratch the acrylic surface.
Use the supplied mixing paddle and inspect the cylinder markings and lid regularly. Follow your facility's procedures for handling and cleaning wastewater-contact equipment.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Raven Settleometer stocked in Canada?
Cambridge Environmental supplies Raven wastewater testing equipment from Ontario. In-stock units can be dispatched promptly through our Canadian shipping network. Contact us to confirm current C-10102 inventory if you need an urgent replacement.
How quickly can Cambridge ship a settleometer?
Cambridge normally ships in-stock products within one business day. Delivery time depends on the destination, carrier service and confirmed inventory availability. We ship to municipal and industrial facilities throughout Canada.
Does Cambridge ship to wastewater plants across Canada?
Yes. Cambridge serves Canadian laboratories and wastewater facilities, including municipal treatment plants, industrial facilities and utilities. Contact our Ontario team for shipping options and larger orders.
What does SV30 mean?
SV30 is the settled sludge volume after 30 minutes. The result is commonly reported in mL/L or as a percentage of the original sample volume.
What is included with the Raven Settleometer Kit?
Manufacturer documentation describes a clear acrylic settleometer cylinder, mixing paddle and snap-on lid. Confirm the current supplied kit contents when ordering.
Why does the cylinder hold 1.4 L if the test uses 1,000 mL?
The cylinder has a total capacity of approximately 1.4 L, but the standard settling test uses a 1,000 mL sample. The additional capacity provides space above the test volume.
Can the settleometer help troubleshoot secondary clarifier problems?
Yes. Monitoring sludge settling rate, settled volume and supernatant clarity can help operators identify changes in sludge behaviour. Results should be considered alongside MLSS, sludge blanket depth and other plant measurements.
Can Canadian municipalities order multiple settleometers?
Yes. Cambridge can provide quotations for multiple units, municipal purchase orders and facility-wide requirements. Contact us with the quantities and delivery location to confirm pricing and available stock.
