  • Page 48: Standardisation

    Instruction Manual CyberScan CON 1500 STANDARDISATION Conductivity probes are generally identified as having a characteristic cell constant, 0.1, 1.0 or 10.0 which reflects their physical geometry and their range of application. However, these are typically nominal cell constants. The actual cell may vary somewhat from the nominal values, and therefore the actual cell constant must be calculated using a solution with a known conductivity value.

  • Page 64: Conductivity Theory

    Instruction Manual CyberScan CON 1500 10. CONDUCTIVITY THEORY Conductance is a metric associated with the ability of primarily aqueous solutions to carry an electrical current, I, between two metallic electrodes when a voltage E is connected to them. Though water itself is a rather poor conductor of electricity, the presence of ions in the water increases its conductance considerably, the current being carried by the migration of the dissolved ions.
  • Page 65 Instruction Manual CyberScan CON 1500 backwards- however, this term has been replaced by the term “siemen”. Conductivity measurements are reported as Siemens/ cm, since the value is measured between opposite faces of a cell of a known cubic configuration. With most aqueous solutions, conductivity quantities are most frequently measured in microSiemens per cm (µS/ cm) or milli-Siemens per cm (mS/ cm).
  • Page 66 Instruction Manual CyberScan CON 1500 Conductivity Measurement CyberScan conductivity probes consist of glass or epoxy bodies in which platinum or platinised sensing elements and are designated two-cell electrode has two such sensing elements and are designated two-cell electrodes. The previous discussion has focused on this type of electrode.
