To convert the electrical conductivity of a water sample (micro Siemens per cm, μS/cm) to the concentration of total dissolved solids (ppm), the conductivity must be multiplied by a factor between 0.46 and 0.9 (depending on the unique mixture of the dissolved materials). 31 0 obj<> endobj Distilled water has greater conductivitythan pure water, because it is always contaminated with atmospheric carbon dioxide, which dissolves in water to form the weak electrolyte, carbonic acid.
