10.4 Electric Conductivity Correction
10.4.1
Standard conductivity correction factor
The indication of the density meter varies with the conductivity of the measured object fluid; however,
the variance is as small as approx. 0.15%TS to 1mS/cm change in conductivity and usually practically
negligible, thus making it unnecessary to input the conductivity meter signal to perform electric
conductivity correction. In the event that the conductivity change is large and thus its impact is not
ignoble, make sure to use the electric conductivity correction function. The formula for this correction
including the other corrections described in Chapter 9 is as follows.

At the time of factory shipment, the [electric conductivity correction factor γ] is set to zero for all the
products. If the conductivity change of the measured object fluid is large, input the electric conductivity
signal in accordance with "Fig.3.5 External Connection Diagram" and then reset the [electric
conductivity correction factor γ].
Table 10.4.1 shows the "standard values" of electric conductivity correction factors as well as the
"density line slope (a)" required in the event of obtaining electric conductivity correction factors
through calculation from measured values. The "standard values" shall be applicable when the range of
the electric conductivity meter used for conductivity correction is
0 to 10 mS/cm.
