• Using the Stage 1 temperature and conductivity requirement table the corresponding conductivity
limit at that temperature is determined.
• If the measured conductivity is not greater than the table value the water meets the requirements
of the test for conductivity. If the conductivity is higher than the table value, proceed with Stage 2.
(for the non‑temperature compensated conductivity measurements only)
