Conductivity (electrolytic)
Measure of the ability of a solution containing electrolytes to conduct electricity
Conductivity (electrolytic)
Conductivity or specific conductance of an electrolyte solution is a measure of its ability to conduct electricity. The SI unit of conductivity is siemens per meter (S/m). Conductivity measurements are used routinely in many industrial and environmental applications as a fast, inexpensive and reliable way of measuring the ionic content in a solution. For example, the measurement of product conductivity is a typical way to monitor and continuously trend the performance of water purification systems. In many cases, conductivity is linked directly to the total dissolved solids (TDS). High-quality deionized water has a conductivity of κ = 0.05501 ± 0.0001 {\displaystyle \kappa =0.05501\pm 0.0001} μS/cm at 25 °C. This corresponds to a specific resistivity of ρ = 18.18 ± 0.03 {\displaystyle \rho =18.18\pm 0.03} MΩ⋅cm. The preparation of salt...
