The electrical conductivity is another method of determining the salinity of your solution. Conductivity measurements are best conducted at 25 degrees C and any difference from this must be compensated for. If their is question about temperature compensation' simply take a reading, change the temperature of the water by 5 or 10 degrees and measure again. It should give the same salinity. Some units give readings in milliSiemens (MS) and require a salinity conversion table. Others read directly in salinity. Regular calibration with a standard solution is recommended.
