Appendix 2 For SC (Conductivity)

Temperature compensation
The conductivity of a solution is very dependent on temperature. Typically for every 1°C
change in temperature the solution conductivity will change by approximately 2%. The effect of
temperature varies from one solution to another and is determined by several factors like solution
composition, concentration and temperature range. A coefficient (α) is introduced to express the
amount of temperature influence in % change in conductivity/°C. In almost all applications this
temperature influence must be compensated before the conductivity reading can be interpreted
as an accurate measure of concentration or purity.
l
NaCl (standard temperature compensation)
The FLXA202/FLXA21 has the default temperature compensation function based on a sodium
chloride (NaCl) solution. This function can be used for various applications and is compatible with
the NaCl compensation function of typical laboratory or portable instruments.

*:
The ratio of the conductivity at respective temperatures to the conductivity at the reference temperature.
l
Temperature compensation coefficient (TC)
Set the temperature compensation coefficient based on the degree of influence of temperature
on the conductivity (%/°C).
If the temperature compensation coefficient of the sample solution is known from laboratory
experiments or has been previously determined, enter the value.
The setting range is between 0.00 and 10.0%. By combining with the reference temperature
setting, a linear compensation function can be obtained. This is applicable to all kinds of chemical
solution.
