Extech Instruments Pocket Salinity and Temperature Meter

The Extech Instruments Pocket Salinity and Temperature Meter is a highly portable and robust waterproof device designed for rapid and accurate measurement of salinity and temperature in a variety of aqueous environments. Featuring automatic temperature compensation (ATC), it ensures precise salinity readings are delivered regardless of water temperature fluctuations, making it a reliable tool for both fieldwork and routine monitoring.

This autoranging meter offers two measurement ranges and includes a built-in NaCl (sodium chloride) conductivity to TDS (total dissolved solids) conversion factor. Its large, easy-to-read 3½ digit (2000 count) dual LCD clearly displays both salinity and temperature readings simultaneously. User-friendly functions such as Data Hold, Auto Power Off, and Low Battery Indication enhance its practicality for extended use.

The meter is designed for straightforward operation with one calibration point per range, a fixed temperature coefficient, and a normalisation temperature. Its durable construction meets the IP65 waterproof standard, meaning it is protected against dust and low-pressure water jets from any direction, allowing it to withstand wet and challenging conditions commonly found in outdoor and industrial settings.

Key Applications

This versatile meter is essential for monitoring salinity levels in aquaculture to ensure optimal conditions for fish and shellfish health. It is equally valuable for environmental studies and groundwater analysis. For hobbyists and professionals, it is perfect for checking the water quality in Koi ponds, irrigation systems for agriculture, and assessing the salinity of drinking water sources, among many other applications.

Supplied complete with a protective sensor cap and four LR44 button batteries, the meter is ready for immediate use. Its compact dimensions and light weight make it an indispensable tool for anyone requiring quick, on-the-sp
