GENERAL INFORMATION
EQUIPMENT DESIGN
As seen in the animation, a conductivity meter consists of a probe
that measures conductivity. A small electrical current flows
between two electrodes set a certain distance apart, usually
around 1 cm. If there is a high concentration of ions in the
solution, the conductance is high, resulting in a fast current. The
electrical current is slower and gives a smaller reading when a
lower concentration of ions is present.
