| Product Overview |
The Portable Salinity and TDS Meter is a compact field instrument designed for rapid assessment of dissolved salt content and total dissolved solids in water. Conductivity-based sensing is commonly used to determine salinity, while TDS is calculated from conductivity using a selected conversion factor. Temperature compensation helps reduce the influence of sample temperature on conductivity-related readings.
The handheld format is well suited to routine water checks at commercial pig farms, livestock drinking-water systems, aquaculture facilities, agricultural projects, water storage tanks and treatment points. It allows technicians, farm managers and engineering teams to perform spot measurements without installing a permanent monitoring station.
For pig farm construction and steel structure building projects, the meter can be used during drinking-water system commissioning, maintenance inspections and routine water management. Final sensor range, measurement units and accessory configuration can be customized according to project requirements. |

| Working Principle / Structural Principle |
The meter determines the electrical conductivity of the water through its conductivity sensor. Dissolved ionic substances increase the ability of water to conduct electrical current, allowing conductivity to be used as an indirect indicator of dissolved salt content.
Salinity is calculated from conductivity according to the selected salinity scale or conversion method. TDS is likewise derived from conductivity through a configured TDS conversion factor. Because conductivity varies with temperature, an integrated temperature sensor can provide automatic temperature compensation when supported by the selected model.
Before routine operation, the sensor should be calibrated with an appropriate standard solution. For reliable comparison between different sampling points, use consistent calibration, measurement temperature settings and sampling procedures. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1} |

| Installation & Maintenance |
The portable meter requires no permanent installation. Before testing, inspect the probe, remove the protective cap and calibrate the instrument using the recommended standard solution. For field work, collect a representative water sample from the source, storage tank, treatment outlet or drinking-water endpoint.
Immerse the sensing section to the recommended level without allowing the sensor to contact the container wall or bottom. Allow the reading to stabilize before recording the result. When testing several water points, rinse the probe between samples with clean water to reduce cross-contamination.
After use, clean the sensor according to the selected probe manufacturer's procedure and keep the sensing element protected during transportation. Regular calibration is recommended for routine professional use. If the meter is used in mineral-rich, saline or chemically treated water, cleaning and inspection intervals should be adjusted according to actual farm conditions.
For commercial pig farms, the instrument can be kept with the livestock equipment maintenance kit so technicians can perform routine water checks while inspecting filters, pressure regulators, drinking lines and water storage equipment. |
| Product FAQ |
Q: What does a salinity and TDS meter measure?
A: It measures or calculates indicators related to dissolved ionic content in water. Salinity and TDS values are commonly derived from conductivity using application-specific conversion methods.
Q: Can the meter be used for pig drinking water?
A: Yes. Its portable design is suitable for spot-checking source water, storage tanks, treatment outlets and livestock drinking-water lines.
Q: Is this meter suitable for aquaculture?
A: Yes. Salinity measurement is widely used in aquaculture and saltwater applications. The suitable measurement range and sensor configuration should be selected according to the species and water conditions.
Q: Does TDS directly measure bacteria or pathogens?
A: No. TDS indicates dissolved substances and should not be treated as a microbiological test. Microbial analysis requires dedicated laboratory or field testing methods.
Q: Why is temperature compensation important?
A: Electrical conductivity changes with temperature. Automatic temperature compensation helps make conductivity-related readings more consistent when sample temperature varies.
Q: Does the meter need permanent installation?
A: No. It is designed for portable sampling and can be carried between water tanks, ponds, livestock houses and project sites.
Q: Can the measurement range be customized?
A: Yes. Salinity range, TDS range, sensor configuration, measurement units and accessories can be customized according to project requirements.
