Description
5052 salinity meter for seawater is designed for simple and reliable salinity measurements in aquaria, aquaculture and environmental monitoring. The platinum-coated electrode with automatic temperature compensation (ATC) delivers accuracy and precision across a wide range, achieving ±1,5 % F.S. from 0 to 100 ppt (100 000 ppm). Reliable seawater salinity readings are obtained without the need for sampling checks required by hydrometers or refractometers. Simply immerse the meter in salt water to obtain stable values within 10 seconds; rinsing between measurements is unnecessary. Regular calibration is not required—one monthly calibration yields dependable results, and calibration solution is included in the set. One-button operation is powered by two AAA batteries, with automatic shut-off and low-battery reminder. Housing protection is IP57 (waterproof and floatable). Dimensions are 39 × 25 × 176 mm and weight is 87 g. The meter from manufacturer APERA Instruments measures practical salinity according to the Practical Salinity Scale 1978 (PSS-78) standardised against normal seawater (S = 35) and carries a 2-year manufacturer warranty (6 months on the electrode).

Questions about 5052 Salinity Meter for Seawater
What is this article?
5052 Salinity Meter for Seawater is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes APERA Instruments for laboratory use. It sits in Conductivity meters & cells, inside pH & electrochemistry, in Lab instruments.
A conductivity meter and its cell measure how well a solution carries current. The cell constant is the geometry that converts conductance to conductivity, and it is calibrated with a standard. Temperature compensation matters because conductivity rises with temperature.
A pH meter is a voltmeter on a glass electrode. The voltage tracks hydrogen-ion activity, and the electrode is converted to pH only after it is adjusted with buffers of known value. Conductivity measures how well a solution carries a current, which for dilute salts tracks concentration. Dissolved oxygen and titration are further electrodes on the same idea: a sensor, a standard, and a reading that is only as fresh as the calibration. Buffer values and chemical identity sit on PubChem. Accreditation of the calibration laboratory is the field of BELAC and EURAMET.
