This method is for the determination of specific conductance in drinking, surface, and saline water, domestic and industrial wastes and acid rain (atmospheric deposition). The specific conductance of a sample is measured by use of a self-contained conductivity meter, Wheatstone bridge-type, or equivalent. Samples should be analyzed at 25°C. If analyzed at other temperatures, temperature corrections are made and results reported at 25°C.
Slight amounts turbidity interfere with the analysis so samples must be filtered prior toanalysis.

* The analytes and detection limits listed for each method represent the typical detection limits and analytes reported for that particular method. Keep in mind that analyte lists may vary from laboratory to laboratory. Detection limits may also vary from lab to lab and are dependent upon the sample size, matrix, and any interferences that may be present in the sample.
