Lists Glossary AutoRead Monitors the electrode drift and releases the measured value only after the stability criterion has been reached. In this way, this procedure ensures the highest degree of precision and reproducibility. Calibration The cell constant is determined through calibration. To do so, the conductivity measuring cell is immersed into a series of aqueous salt solutions with exactly known electric conductiviy.
Lists Resistance Salinity Temperature compensation (TC) Test sample Total dissolved solids (TDS) All substances (solids, liquids, or gases) with mobile charge carriers like for example electrons or ions have a finite ohmic resistance, which means they have an electric conductance that can be measured or an electric conducitivtiy. The salinity is a sum parameter especially for seawater; it gives the salt content of seawater. The temperature has a very strong impact on the electrical conductivity.
