What exactly is a Salinity / Specific Meter: This
meter is a revolutionary 3-in-1 instrument that simplifies measuring the 3 most
important parameters in a salt water environment.
- Temperature (C/F )
- Salinity (ppt)
- Specific Gravity
Will an inexpensive floating or swing arm hydrometer be
adequate? There are many measuring techniques to acquire the salt level
in an aquarium. Many of the inexpensive hydrometers are not accurate and fail to
provide true temperature compensations. Although these devices may be adequate
to provide general guidelines, we feel obtaining precise, accurate and reliable
measurements are vital to achieving a healthy and thriving biotope.
What are the benefits? The DSG-10 is in the
family of conductivity meters which are recognised as the most accurate, precise
and reliable measurement methods in the scientific industry. Ease of use,
automatic conversions and multi-parameter testing in a single tester are primary
benefits.
How it works. Salt exists as sodium and chloride
ions that are positively and negatively charged moved freely in water. Once an
electrical field is present, positively charged ions move toward a negatively
charged electrode and negatively charge ions move towards a positively charged
electrode to obtain a reading.
- Features:
- Easy to read and use includes scales for both salinity and Specific
Gravity
- Built-in automatic temperature compensation /Auto switch off
- Fast response : 6 sec.
