What are the differences in the calibration techniques for Orion Conductivity meters?
Orion Conductivity Meters have various calibration techniques depending on the model including Autocalibration, Direct Calibration or Manual Calibration. The Autocalibration function found on many meters allows the meter to recognize the value of Orion Conductivity standards automatically. This is a quick and convenient calibration technique to determine the conductivity probe’s cell constant. The Direct Calibration technique requires the user to enter the temperature corrected value of the conductivity standard and the meter will determine the cell constant. Alternately the Manual Calibration allows the user to adjust the cell constant value until the standard reads the appropriate value for its temperature. For all calibration techniques, Orion conductivity standards are recommended. It is important to assure that fresh aliquots of standard are used each time. It is not recommended to reuse conductivity standards for calibration as this can lead to erroneous results. Back to Top • Wh
