EC 3000 conductivity measuring instrument

The conductivity value shows the amount of dissolved salts in the liquid. The more salt ions present in the solution, the
the higher the electrical conductivity. The units of measurement are S/cm (Siemens/cm) and smaller units (mS and μS).
The EC value plays an important role in nutrient supply. Plants, when provided with a suitable EC value
Therefore it is important to monitor the EC value of the nutrient solutions applied and the irrigation water.
The EC 3000 is a practical, easy-to-use device. Use of the high sensitivity (platinum-coated ring) electrode
easy to use. The built-in heat sensor provides automatic and fast thermal compensation. The 200mS measuring range for stock solutions
also makes the instrument suitable for the measurement of strain gauge samples.
Applications:
for potted plants (nutrient solution system, stock solutions)
for the production of growing media, soil mixtures
rock cultivation
laboratory applications
