Salinometer

A salinometer is a device designed to measure the salinity, or dissolved salt content, of


a solution.
Since the salinity affects both the electrical conductivity and the specific gravity of a
solution, a salinometer often consist of an ec meter or hydrometer and some means of
converting those readings to a salinity reading. A salinometer may be calibrated in
either micromhos, a unit of electrical conductivity, (usually 0-22) or else directly
calibrated for salt in 'grains per gallon' (0-0.5).[1] A typical reading on-board ship would
be 2 micromhos or 0.05 grains per gallon
