All that you need to know about conductivity meter

A conductivity meter is a familiar term for most of the people, isn’t it! But how many of us actually know what this device can really do? This meter is used in measuring the amount of electric current in the solution. Some people call it's a device to measure conductance. Well, it’s one and the same thing.

Applications of conductivity meter:

A conductivity meter is a device which is commonly used to test the natural water bodies in order to understand the health of the same. One of the biggest benefits of such meters can e realized in water treatment plants. There are many steps in the procedural needs of wastewater purification. And this meter is highly utilized in order to measure the changes in the impurities and liquid waste in the water at each step.

You will also find this meter connected in the laboratories of environment where various natural waste and solutions are tested.

How does the conductivity meter works?

This meter actually includes a probe which is usually handheld in the device. In order to test the conductance in the water, the probe interacts with the solution and the voltage is applied throughout by the meter which generally takes place between two similar electrodes.

Under this condition, the resistance of electricity is created which drops the voltage in the liquid which is then read by the meter. The reading on the meter is generally shown in micromhos or micro Siemens per cm (centimeter). This reading is helpful in understanding how much solid has been dissolved in the solution. This reading of dissolved solids is actually the solid amount which can easily pass from the filter made of glass fiber.
