Understanding LCR Meters:

  • A conductivity tester, also known as a conductivity meter or conductometer, is a device used to measure the electrical conductivity of a solution.
  • Electrical conductivity is a measure of a solution’s ability to conduct an electrical current, which is influenced by the concentration of ions in the solution.

Measurement Range and Accuracy:

  • Consider the range of conductivity values you need to measure and choose a tester that can accurately measure within that range.
  • GAO Tek offers a range of conductivity testers with varying measurement ranges to suit different applications.
  • Ensure that the tester provides accurate and reliable measurements, especially in environments with varying temperatures or contaminants that may affect conductivity readings. 

Type of Conductivity Tester:

  • Decide between handheld, benchtop, or online conductivity testers based on your specific requirements.
  • Handheld testers are portable and suitable for field use, while benchtop testers offer higher accuracy and are ideal for laboratory settings. Online testers provide continuous monitoring for industrial processes.
  • GAO Tek offers a variety of conductivity testers, including handheld, benchtop, and online models, to meet different application needs.

Calibration and Maintenance:

  • Choose a conductivity tester that is easy to calibrate and maintain.
  • Check the calibration requirements of the tester and ensure that it is easy to calibrate using standard solutions.
  • Consider the maintenance requirements of the tester, such as electrode cleaning and replacement, and choose a model that is easy to maintain for long-term use. 

Display and User Interface:

  • Look for a tester with a clear and easy-to-read display that provides real-time measurement readings. Our conductivity testers feature intuitive user interfaces for easy operation.
  • Consider additional features such as data logging, which allows you to store and analyze measurement data over time.

Build Quality and Durability:

  • Choose a conductivity tester with a durable construction that can withstand the demands of your environment. Our testers are built to high standards of quality and durability, ensuring reliable performance in various conditions.
  • Consider factors such as waterproofing and shock resistance, especially if the tester will be used in challenging or harsh environments.

Data Storage and Connectivity: Check if the conductivity tester has data storage capabilities and connectivity options. GAO Tek’s testers often come with built-in memory for storing measurement data and USB or wireless connectivity for data transfer to computers or other devices.

Additional Features:

  • Look for additional features that may enhance the usability of the tester, such as temperature compensation, which adjusts the conductivity readings based on the temperature of the solution.
  • GAO Tek conductivity testers offer advanced features to meet specific application needs.
