6 | Bases for measurement LWT-100 6 Bases for measurement 6.1 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.
LWT-100 Bases for measurement | 6 place with calibration to known comparison solutions or with actual evaporation of a certain amount of liquid with measured conductivity and subsequent weight of the total dissolved solids. 6.4 Salt content / salinity measurement In SAL measuring mode, the salinity, which is the salt content of sea water, is determ- ined.
6 | Bases for measurement LWT-100 available for this purpose. In normal application conditions, semi-annual testing is re- commended; Adjustment of the measuring input [} p. 20]. A system test by the man- ufacturer is recommended in case of doubt; Calibration and adjustment service.
