| Measurements |
Actual Conductivity, Temperature, Specific Conductance at 25°C (calculated),
Salinity (calculated using PSS-78, the Practical Salinity Scale 1978) |
| Conductivity Measurement Ranges |
Low range: 100 to 10,000 µS/cm
High range: 5,000 to 55,000 µS/cm |
| Conductivity Calibrated Range – Temperature Range |
5° to 35°C (41° to 95°F) |
| Conductivity Extended Ranges |
Low range: 100 to 10,000 µS/cm
High range: 5,000 to 55,000 µS/cm (Readings below these ranges reported as 0) |
| Temperature Measurement Range |
-2° to 36°C (28° to 97°F) |
| Specific Conductance Accuracy (in Calibrated Range using Conductivity Assistant and Calibration Measurements) |
Low range: 3% of reading or 50 µS/cm, whichever is greater
High range: 5% of reading, in waters within a range of ±3,000 µS/cm;
waters with greater variation can have substantially greater error |
| Conductivity Resolution |
2 µS/cm (typical) |
| Temperature Accuracy |
0.1°C (0.2°F) at 25°C (77°F) |
| Temperature Resolution |
0.01°C (0.02°F) |
| Conductivity Drift |
Up to 12% sensor drift per month, exclusive of drift from fouling.
Monthly start- and end-point calibration should be used with the HOBOware Conductivity Assistant to achieve the specified Specific Conductance accuracy. |
