Conductivity Meter Kit Complete


Description
The Conductivity Meter Kit Complete is sturdy, affordable
and ideal for field use. The Conductivity Meter Kit Complete
(PCN 0173062) includes the Conductivity Meter with 4 alkaline
AAA batteries, Conductivity Electrode-ATC with protective
guard, stand, rubber armor, 4 spare alkaline AAA batteries,
100 ml beaker, Gallic Acid, brass scoop, case and manual.

The meter has a large custom LCD (Liquid Crystal Display)


for clear and easy reading. It measures conductivity in micro-
Siemens per cm (µS/cm) and temperature in °C. Automatic
calibration of the meter is quick and easy using the recom-
mended calibration solutions.

The Conductivity Electrode-ATC is also available separately


(PCN 0173070) and is temperature compensated.
