Three measurement scales are available for salinity (Natural Sea Water Scale, Practical Salinity Scale and
Percent Scale).

According to the definition, salinity of a sample in ppt is calculated using the following formula:
where:
R
T
- coefficient;
C
T
(sample) - uncompensated conductivity at T °C;
C(35,15)= 42914
µ
S/cm - the corresponding conductivity of KCl solution containing a mass of 32.4356 g
KCl / 1 Kg solution;
r
T
- temperature compensation polynom.
Note:
The formula can be applied for temperatures between 10 °C and 31 °C.
