Why use conductivity meter to test TDS

Chimay conductivity meter is a multi-range instrument with various functions. It can be used to measure liquid samples with different temperature coefficients than water. The conductivity meter can provide three ranges and has the function of automatic range selection. The most suitable range is automatically selected during detection.

Judging from the feedback from many users, when measuring the tds value in water, does not know which method to choose for measurement. The comparison is sorted out to facilitate customers to choose:

The method of measuring the tds value in water with a conductivity meter is very simple. It can measure a larger batch of water samples each time. Now, the method of calculating the recovery rate is mainly used. Some users in the market choose to use the weighing method to measure the tds value in water. value, both of these commonly used methods have their own advantages.

The measurement steps of the recovery rate method and the weighing method are basically the same, but the recovery rate method has better precision than the weighing method and consumes less energy. There are still differences between the two measurement methods. The main differences are now summarized. as follow:

1. Treatment of water samples:
Recovery rate: water samples do not need any treatment before measurement;

2. Measurement time:
Recovery rate: the determination time is fast and simple;
Weighing method: the time for measuring a single water sample is 6-8 hours longer than the recovery rate;

3. Water sample measurement:
Recovery rate: large batches of water samples can be measured each time;
Weighing method: Only 10 water samples can be measured at most each time;

Therefore, the recovery rate is a better method to determine the tds value in drinking water.
