EC is the electrical conductivity of water, most often given in µS/cm or mS/cm and depends on the concentration and type of ions.

What does EC mean in practice?

EC conductivity increases with the number and mobility of ions, and the result should be reported with temperature or compensation to a reference temperature.

When does it matter?

EC does not detect non-ionic substances well and does not determine which salts are responsible for the reading.

Which solutions are related to it?

The meter is calibrated with a standard solution and the interpretation is linked to the ion analysis or retention of a specific process.
