Specific conductance: A measure of the ability of a water to conduct an electrical current.
Specific Conductance
Rapid method of estimating the dissolved solid content of water supply by testing its capacity to carry an electrical current.
Specific Yield ...
Specific Conductance: The ability of a cubic centimeter of water to conduct electricity; depends on the quantity of ionized minerals in it. Measured in microohms per centimeter.
TDS is measured on a sample of water that has passed through a very fine mesh filter to remove suspended solids. The water passing through the filter is evaporated and the residue represents the dissolved solids. Also see specific conductance.
conductance conductivity, the indirect measure of electrolytes in water; the reciprocal of resistance; an electromotive force of 1 volt between two points is 1 mho or 1 siemens (S); specific conductance, ...
