Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the difference between conductivity and TDS?
Conductivity measures the ability of a solution to pass an electric current, while TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) is a calculated value representing the total concentration of dissolved substances in the liquid.
2. Why should I use a Memosens-compatible meter like the Portavo 904?
Memosens technology digitizes the measurement signal directly in the sensor, preventing interference from moisture or cable lengths and allowing you to pre-calibrate sensors in the lab before field use.
3. Can these pocket testers measure salinity?
Yes, multi-parameter pocket testers like the Thermo Eutech Elite series include pre-programmed algorithms to display salinity based on the measured conductivity and temperature.
4. Do portable meters come with sensors included?
The Eutech CON 150 often comes as a complete kit with an electrode, while high-end industrial meters like the Knick Portavo may require the separate purchase of a Memosens or analog probe.
