What is conductivity? How it measure?
Conductivity
Conductivity is a ability of material (solid,liquid or gas) to pass electricity through it.
Conductivity measurement required for,
- Quality control of drinking or process water
- Quality control of boiler feed water
- Estimation of total number of iron in a solution
Conductivity of a solution depend upon the following factor.
- Concentration of the solution
- Mobility of iron
- Valence of ions
- Temperature of the solution
L=σA/d
L=conductance
A=Area of the electrode
d=distance between two electrodes
σ=conductivity of the solution
The ratio d/a is called cell constant)θ and conductivity expresses
σ=θ L
Unit of conductivity
Siemens/centimetre is the unit of the conductivity.
Conductivity cells
- Two pole type
- Four pole type
