Conductivity

General information

Conductivity (

ϰ

)

Short form of the expression, specific electrical conductivity. 
It corresponds to the reciprocal value of the resistivity. 
It is a measured value of the ability of a substance to conduct an electric 
current. In water analysis, the electrical conductivity is a dimension for 
the ionized substances in a solution.

Reference tempera-

ture

Fixed temperature value to compare temperature-dependent measured 
values. For conductivity measurements, the measured value is con-
verted to a conductivity value at a reference temperature of 20 °C or 25 
°C.

Salinity

The absolute salinity S

A

 of seawater corresponds to the relationship of 

the mass of dissolved salts to the mass of the solution (in g/Kg). In prac-
tice, this dimension cannot be measured directly. Therefore, the practi-
cal salinity according to IOT is used for oceanographic monitoring. It is 
determined by measuring the electrical conductivity.

Salt content

General designation for the quantity of salt dissolved in water.

Temperature coeffi-

cient

Value of the slope   of a linear temperature function.

Temperature compen-

sation

Name of a function that considers the temperature influence on the 
measurement and converts it accordingly. Depending on the measured 
parameter to be determined, the temperature compensation functions 
in different ways. For conductimetric measurements, the measured 
value is converted to a defined reference temperature. For potentiomet-
ric measurements, the slope value is adjusted to the temperature of the 
test sample but the measured value is not converted.

Resistivity (

ρ

)

Short name for the specific electrolytic resistivity. It corresponds to the 
reciprocal value of the electrical conductivity.

Cell constant (c)

Characteristic quantity of a conductivity measuring cell, depending on 
the geometry.

Resolution

Smallest difference between two measured values that can be dis-
played by a meter.

AutoRange

Name of the automatic selection of the measuring range.

Adjusting

To manipulate a measuring system so that the relevant value (e.g. the 
displayed value) differs as little as possible from the correct value or a 
value that is regarded as correct, or that the difference remains within 
the tolerance.
