Conductivity measurement is an easily performed measurement technique for determining and monitoring the total salt concentration in water. It is encountered in many areas of industrial and environmental analysis. Whether it concerns cleaning the filling lines in a dairy, or protection of the cooling water system in a power station, the correct procedures always depend on the conductivity value.
This technical publication presents the basic chemical relationships and typical applications in a general, easily understood form. In addition, information will be given on the current state of technology with regard to transmitters/controllers and sensors for this process variable.
Our aim is to ensure that the "Information on conductivity measurement" is always kept fully up to date, and therefore invite our readers to provide feedback and share experience and knowledge. Any suggestions or contributions to the discussion will be most welcome.
