ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a two-point calibration procedure, that when used with a mathematical algorithm, improves the accuracy of electrolytic conductivity measurements by correcting for non-linear behavior of conductivity cells. Unlike purely mathematical means of correcting for non-linearity which may use second or higher order equations, this algorithm has the following advantages: it is based on an analysis of the physical phenomena which are responsible for non-linearity; it yields one unique solution, i.e., it uses an equation that has only one root; and it yields diagnostic information concerning the behavior of the cell. A conductivity system utilizing the described algorithm was built and tested and led to the development of the following enhancements which are also described: display of a parameter which indicates the degree of non-linearity; a means of automatically recognizing specific standardizing solutions; and a temperature-compensated algorithm for determining when a conductivity measurement signal is stable.
