Addendum 2: How to calculate the temperature coefficient
To determine the temperature coefficient of sample solution use the formula below:
T
c
= × 100%
Where:
T
C
= Temperature coefficient
C
TA
= Conductivity at Temperature A
C
TB
= Conductivity at Temperature B
T
A
= Temperature A
T
B
= Temperature B
1.
Press and hold the
o

key for 3 seconds to enter the temperature setting.
2.
Press the
or
key to set the temperature to 25
° C.
3.
Place the electrode into the sample solution A and record the temperature value T
