Description
Meytec conductivity calibration solution – 12.88 mS/cm – bottle 250 ml
The Meytec conductivity calibration solution 12.88 mS/cm bottle 250 ml is a high range reference liquid for calibrating and checking conductivity and tds meters. With a defined conductivity of 12.88 mS/cm at the reference temperature, it allows you to adjust electronic probes used in pools, spas and water treatment systems operating in more mineral rich or saline conditions.
Use of 12.88 mS/cm conductivity solution
Conductivity and tds meters gradually drift as electrodes age and are exposed to treated water, dissolved salts and temperature variations. Calibrating with Meytec conductivity calibration solution 12.88 mS/cm corrects this drift in the higher conductivity range, which is relevant for applications with elevated salt content or where conductivity is used as an indicator for salt chlorination and dosing control.
This 12.88 mS/cm value is widely used as a standard point for many portable and bench conductivity meters, making it easier to verify that sensors still respond correctly after prolonged use and to compare readings between different instruments.
250 ml bottle for regular calibration
The Meytec conductivity calibration solution 12.88 mS/cm bottle 250 ml is supplied in a practical screw cap bottle suitable for routine calibration and service work. The 250 ml volume provides enough standard for multiple verification cycles while remaining easy to handle and store in technical rooms or service vehicles.
- 250 ml of ready to use 12.88 mS/cm conductivity standard.
- Secure screw cap bottle for repeated opening and closing.
- Suitable for handheld meters, inline controllers and bench instruments.
To preserve the specified value, only a small working volume should be poured into a clean container for each calibration and the main bottle should be closed immediately after use.
Calibration with Meytec conductivity solution
The Meytec conductivity calibration solution 12.88 mS/cm bottle 250 ml is compatible with most conductivity and tds meters that accept external calibration standards. It is suitable for residential and commercial pools, spas and other water systems where conductivity is used to monitor salt levels or overall mineral content.
- Reference point at 12.88 mS/cm for high range conductivity and tds meters.
- Supports accurate adjustment of sensors in mineral rich or saline water.
- Useful for regular verification of inline probes used in control systems.
Calibration should always follow the procedure described in the instrument manual, including instructions on temperature compensation and stabilisation time. Many meters allow you to enter the reference value so that readings are automatically adjusted to the standard temperature.
Example calibration procedure
Although exact steps depend on the device, a typical single point calibration with Meytec 12.88 mS/cm solution is straightforward and can be integrated into regular maintenance.
- Rinse the conductivity probe with demineralised water and shake off the excess.
- Pour a small amount of 12.88 mS/cm solution into a clean container.
- Immerse the measuring cell completely in the calibration solution.
- Wait for the reading to stabilise and adjust the meter to 12.88 mS/cm according to the instructions.
After calibration, rinse the probe again before returning it to normal measurement so that no calibration standard enters the system being monitored.
Storage and handling recommendations
To keep the Meytec conductivity calibration solution 12.88 mS/cm bottle 250 ml within specification, it should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Correct handling reduces contamination and extends the useful life of the solution.
- Always close the bottle tightly immediately after dispensing.
- Use only clean glass or plastic containers for the working volume.
- Never pour used calibration solution back into the original bottle.
Combined with regular calibration, correct probe cleaning and proper storage, this Meytec conductivity standard helps keep high range conductivity and tds measurements stable and reliable in pool and water treatment applications.
