Pocket Salinity Tester - Pen Type Salinity and Conductivity Meter - 0.01 ppt, ±1% F.S.

The Master Science Pocket Salinity Tester is a pen-sized meter that reads salinity and also offers a conductivity mode, so one tool covers both checks. Two versions are offered: MSSAL-P10SWISS for 0.00 to 10.00 ppt and MSSAL-P20SWISS for 0.00 to 80.00 ppt, each with 0.01 ppt resolution.

A platinum conductivity cell gives quick, dependable readings, and the Master Science Pocket Salinity Tester recognises conductivity standards on its own during 1 to 3 point calibration. Temperature is shown on the second display line and compensated automatically across the full range.

Key Benefits

• Two measurements in one pen:: the Master Science Pocket Salinity Tester reads salinity and conductivity.
• Fine resolution:: 0.01 ppt on both versions.
• Fast, reliable response:: platinum conductivity cell.
• Less guesswork:: Auto-Read locks the value at the endpoint.
• Calibration made simple:: standards are recognised automatically.

For bench-free field work with wider ranges, see the Master Science portable conductivity meter.

Product Features

Measurement

• Salinity tester with a built-in conductivity measurement mode
• Platinum conductivity cell for quick and reliable results
• 1 to 3 point calibration with automatic recognition of conductivity standards
• Automatic temperature compensation over the entire range
• Auto-Read function senses and locks the measurement endpoint

Setup

• Setup menu for number of calibration points, auto power-off and other settings
• Reset function restores all settings to factory defaults
• Dual-line LCD shows the reading together with temperature

Applications

The Master Science Pocket Salinity Tester fits routine salinity checks in:

• Aquaculture and aquarium water
• Seawater and brackish water sampling
• Food brines and process solutions
• Teaching and field laboratories

Common Problems This Tester Solves

Salinity checks in the field often suffer from the same few issues.

• Unsure when the reading has settled:: Auto-Read holds the value once the endpoint is reached.
• Temperature swings distort results:: automatic compensation works from 0 to 60°C.
• Calibration mistakes with the wrong standard:: the meter identifies conductivity standards by itself.
• Settings changed by another user:: one reset returns the factory defaults.
