The Milwaukee Instruments conductivity calibration solution is an aqueous electrolyte solution for calibrating electrodes and conductivity meters. It comes in a 230mL bottle. Conductivity calibration solutions are used to confirm and adjust the accuracy of meters and electrodes in agricultural, industrial, or scientific environments.
A calibration solution is used to calibrate instrumentation for accuracy in aquaculture, hydroponics, water-testing and for scientific applications. It is necessary to use a calibration solution similar in dissolved solids content to the solution to be tested in order to get acceptable accuracies. Calibration solution should be at the same temperature as the test solution to minimize temperature effect errors. Conductivity is the ability of a material or solution to conduct an electrical current.
Milwaukee Instruments manufactures electrochemical instrumentation and solutions for water analysis under the Milwaukee and Martini brands. The company, founded in 1989, is headquartered in Rocky Mount, NC.
