The temperature compensation can be set as linear for most aqueous samples, non-linear for ultra pure and low ionic strength samples or off for non-temperature compensated conductivity measurements . - Page 71 5.64 Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) The Orion Star and Star Plus conductivity meters measure TDS as the total amount of dissolved inorganics in a solution . The dissolved inorganics carry a current that is measured by the conductivity probe . Since there is a direct relationship between conductivity and TDS, conductivity readings are used to estimate the presence of inorganics .
