EC meter
EC probe

Parameter to be measured:

Electric conductivity (EC)

Method:

handheld EC meter

Equipment:

WTW cond 340i

Advantages:

  • 500 measurements can be stored and later downloaded
  • you can choose the temporal resolution of automatic measurements
  • can also be installed in the field and log continuously for several days (depending on the chosen temporal resolution)

Disadvantages:

Sometimes the connection between laptop and EC meter fails while downloading the data and a number of datasets is not transmitted. Downloading 2 or 3 times ensures that you have the complete dataset on your laptop (but you might need to combine the files).

What to watch out for:
