5 | Bases for measurement G 1420 5 Bases for measurement 5.1 Conductivity principles Conductivity γ Conductivity describes the capability of a material to conduct electrical current. It is also the inverse of specific resistance. The conductance is the inverse of the meas- ured resistance R.
G 1420 Bases for measurement | 5 2-pole measuring cell 4-pole measuring cell 2-pole stainless steel measuring cell for low conductivities <100µS, e.g. pure and purest water, boiler water, osmosis and filter technology 5.4.2 Calibration / adjustment of the measuring cell In harsh applications and due to ageing processes, the cell constant of measuring cells changes.
