Accurate Instruments for Conductivity Testing
The YSI 3100 provides accuracy and reliability in measuring conductivity, salinity and temperature in the lab.
The instrument uses forced-current measurement technology, and other features including direct-reading digital display, adjustable temperature coefficient, reference temperature, and automatic temperature compensation.
The YSI 3100 provides high-accuracy measurements for basic conductivity. Includes direct-reading digital display, adjustable temperature coef?cient, and automatic temperature compensation.
Conductivity Cells - Automatic Temperature Compensation
YSI 3200 Series Conductivity Cells have built-in thermistors, allowing automatic temperature compensation. All YSI cells are calibrated according to OIML (International Organization of Legal Metrology) recommendations 56 (Standard solutions reproducing the conductivity of electrolytes) and 68 (Calibration method for conductivity cells).
The YSI Model 3100 is a microprocessor based instrument designed to perform laboratory measurement of conductivity, salinity and temperature. The instrument’s push button operation makes it simple to use.
The Model 3100's microprocessor allows the system to be easily calibrated with the press of a few keys. Additionally, the microprocessor performs a self-diagnostic routine each time the instrument is turned on. The self-diagnostic routine provides you with useful information about the cell constant, function of the instrument circuitry, and the quality of the readings you obtain.
The system simultaneously displays temperature (in °C), along with one of the following parameters: conductivity (in µS/cm or mS/cm), temperature compensated conductivity, (in µS/cm or mS/cm), and salinity (in parts per thousand [ppt]). You can switch back and forth from salinity, conductivity, and temperature compensated conductivity with a single push of the [MODE] key.
The new YSI 3200 series conductivity cells contain internal temperature sensors for temperature measurement and automatic temperature compensation. The Model 3100 is also compatible with YSI 3400 series conductivity cells when used with the YSI Model 3232 cell adapter. However 3400 series cells do not contain an internal temperature sensor, therefore, when using a 3400 series cell, temperature measurement, temperature compensation or salinity measurement is not possible.
