Handy Salinity is an easy-to-use, trouble-free way of measuring the salinity of seawater used in aquaculture and similar. It has automatic temperature compensation and is factory calibrated, so you just turn it on and measure. It is designed so that salinity measurements conform to the standards outlined by PSS-78. The measuring range is 0-50 ppt with a typical accuracy of +/- 1 ppt.

The repeatability is +/- 0.5% of actual value. The user can select whether or not a decimal is shown.

The probe uses an inductive sensor so that inaccuracies due to surface deposits are avoided – user maintenance consists of wiping the probe dry after use and cleaning the hole with a bottle brush as needed.

It is easy to select whether salinity, conductivity or temperature is shown in large figures – just press the up or down arrow buttons! Menu functions let the user select the display language, temperature units and display backlight intensity.

Handy salinity can be ordered with practically any cable length – 3m is standard.
