Portable Conductivity Meter for Regulatory Testing of Drinking Water

摘要

Checking water quality, in applications as diverse as regulatory testing of drinking water and swimming pool maintenance, is easy with the CA10141 portable conductivity meter from Chauvin Arnoux. This compact, handheld instrument, which features a fully waterproof design with an IP67 ingress protection rating, offers fast and reliable measurement of conductivity, TDS (total dissolved solids), salinity and temperature with all results clearly displayed on a large backlit LCD screen. Simplicity of operation and rugged construction combined with high accuracy make this novel instrument an ideal choice for use wherever it is necessary to monitor water quality. Typical applications include checking drinking water in compliance with the Drinking Water Directive 98/83/EC, checking salinity and conductivity of water used in food manufacturing processes, measuring the conductivity of water in industrial boilers, confirming water quality in swimming pools and monitoring water in natural pools and rivers as an aid to detecting pollution. The CA10141 conductivity meter can measure conductivity over the range 0.050 μS/cm to 500.0 mS/cm, TDS from 0.001 mg/l to 499.9 g/l, and salinity from 2.0 to 42.0 psu. It also records the temperature at which the measurements are made over the range -10.0 to +120°C. In addition to showing the results on its integral LCD screen, the instrument also records them in its internal memory. This can store up to 30,000 time and date-stamped measurements which can subsequently be transferred, via a standard USB link, to a PC for analysis, reporting or archiving.
