Reverse Osmosis Meters for Measuring Total Dissolved Solids
The choice of professionals for years, this compact instrument has been designed specifically to demonstrate and
test Point of Use (POU) reverse osmosis or distillation systems. By measuring electrical conductivity, it will
quickly determine the parts per million/Total Dissolved Solids (ppm/TDS) of any drinking water.
With a single "before and after" test, this handy device effectively demonstrates how your RO or distillation
system eliminates harmful dissolved solids. It will also service test systems, including membrane evaluation
programs.
Automatic Temperature Compensation: Why It Is Important
The graph below illustrates a TDS reading of a 500 ppm water sample tested with a non-temperature compensated
conductivity meter. The same water sample appears to have a higher level of TDS when heated (and lower TDS when
chilled). Actually, only conductivity readings change with temperature. TDS does not change.
Many instruments ignore the importance of temperature. Others require a separate thermometer for testing sample
temperature, then manual adjustment of the meter. All Myron L® instruments, however, feature fast and precise
Automatic Temperature Compensation. The result: a more accurate, useful instrument.
How Conductivity Measures ppm/TDS
Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) conduct electricity. This conductivity allows measurement of the concentration of
these salts directly in parts per million (ppm). However, the salts' composition in waters can vary
significantly by location. Since various salts pass current differently, it was necessary to determine an
"average" ppm/ conductivity relationship. The Myron L® Company established the "442" Standard over 55 years ago.
It remains the world's most widely accepted standard of its kind.
