conductivity into specific gravity
just curious if there is a setting on the apex that you can change the display to show you the specific gravity of the water versus the conductivity? I don't think there is but it would make it easier since i relate to the specific gravity numbers (1.026 etc...) a little better. I can't tell if my salinity is too high or not with the conductivity measurement of 58.1
i am also having a tough time finding a conversion chart. any help? |

Conductivity in mS or salinity in ppt are the only choices for saltwater using the PM2.
http://www.saltyzoo.com/SaltyCalcs/SgPptConv.php http://reefkeeping.com/issues/2004-06/rhf/index.php There's also a conversion chart in the back of the AC3Pro manual http://www.neptunesys.com/index.php?...d=49&Itemid=48 |

its appears it is reading conductivity in mS. ill just write it down in relation to specific gravity so ill know for future reference. it appears my salinity is a little too high at 58.1 approx 1.029 (ish). thanks for the help again guys.
