Conductivity Value

The conductivity value is a measure for the concentration of all ions in a liquid. Thus the specific resistance and concentration of salts, lyes or acids can also be determined.

Measurement of the conductivity value:

There are two measuring methods which are generally accepted. Dependent on the application, the inductive or conductive measurement principle can be chosen.

Conductive principle:

Between two opposite electrode surfaces, a voltage is applied. The measuring transmitter converts the arising potential difference by means of compensation equations into conductivity, concentration or specific resistance.


Inductive principle:

The liquid is flown through two coils potted in synthetic material (e.g. PEEK). Due to the ions in the liquid, the excitation coil induces a current in the receiver coil. The measuring transmitter can convert this current by means of compensation equations into conductivity, concentration or specific resistance.
