To measure EC in Water

Electrical Conductivity (EC) meters measure the capacity of ions in an aqueous solution to carry electrical current. As the ranges in aqueous solutions are usually small, the basic units of measurements are milliSiemens/cm (mS/cm) and microSiemens/cm (µS/cm).

Conductivity is used widely to determine the level of impurities in water supplies for domestic consumption as well as industrial use. Industries that employ this method include the chemical, semi-conductor, power generation, hospitals, textile, iron and steel, food and beverage, mining,
electroplating, pulp and paper, petroleum and marine industries.

Specific applications include chemical streams, demineraliser output, reverse osmosis, stream boilers, condensate return, waste streams, boiler blowdown, cooling towers, desalinisation, laboratory analysis, fruit peeling and salinity level detection in oceanography.
