Salinity Sensor

Salinity Sensor

Salinity Sensor

$149.00

The Salinity Sensor precisely measures the total dissolved salt content of ocean or brackish water.

ORDER CODE: SAL-BTA Category

The Salinity Sensor easily and precisely measures the total dissolved salt content in an aqueous solution. Measure water with a wide variety of salinities, from brackish water to ocean water, and even hyper-saline environments. You can also study how salinity affects buoyancy or monitor salinity values in estuaries where fresh water mixes with ocean water.

Specifications

  • Range of Salinity Sensor: 0 to 50 ppt (0 to 50,000 ppm)
  • Accuracy using factory calibration: ±3% of full-scale reading
  • Accuracy using custom calibration: ±1% of full-scale reading
  • Response time: 90% of full-scale reading in 10 s.
  • Temperature compensation: automatic from 5 to 35°C
  • Temperature range (can be placed in): 0 to 80°C
  • Cell constant: 10 cm-1
  • Description: dip type, epoxy body, parallel platinum electrodes
  • Dimensions: 12 mm OD and 150 mm length
