Abstract
The conductivity of all solutions changes as the solutions’ temperature changes. It is a fundamental, practical requirement in the field of conductivity measurement that test measurements taken at different temperatures can be compared. This comparison can be facilitated by the use of Temperature Compensation, which provides an estimate of the samples’ conductivity at a common reference temperature. This paper describes the principle of Temperature Compensation and provides details of the different types of Temperature Compensation that are available to the analyst so that the most appropriate type can be selected for the analyst’s measurement application.
