Dissolved oxygen
General information
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
practice, this dimension cannot be measured directly. Therefore, the
practical salinity according to IOT is used for oceanographic monitor-
ing. It is determined by measuring the electrical conductivity.
Salt content
General designation for the quantity of salt dissolved in water.
Temperature
coefficient
Value of the slope of a linear temperature function.
Temperature
compensation
Name of a function that considers the temperature influence on the
measurement and converts it accordingly. Depending on the mea-
sured 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
potentiometric measurements, the slope value is adjusted to the tem-
perature of the test sample but the measured value is not converted.

D.O. partial pressure
Pressure caused by the oxygen in a gas mixture or liquid.
D.O. saturation
Short name for the "relative D.O. saturation".
OxiCal
®
WTW name for a procedure to calibrate D.O. measuring systems in
water vapor saturated air.

General designation for the quantity of salt dissolved in water.
Slope (relative)
Designation used by WTW in the D.O. measuring technique. It
expresses the relation of the slope value to the value of a theoretical
reference sensor of the same construction type.
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.
AutoRange
Name of the automatic selection of the measuring range.
