Digital Meter TDS calibration

Water is an essential element in human life. TDS Meters used to determine the quality of safe water. However, TDS Meters also need to be calibrated for accurate results. Therefore, figuring out how to calibrate TDS digital Meters is very important. This explanation will help you understand preparation for calibration and how to do it.

Good and true TDS Calibration Way

In order to improve the performance of the TDS Meters that are falling, there are some steps that need to be known in the calibration process.

1. Preparing calibration fluid

Before doing the calibration process, you have to prepare calibration fluid first. It can be obtained in stores or sold online. However, you can also make it by using NACl.

  • To create calibration fluid with a concentration of 1000 ppm per 1 liter of water, you would need 1 gram of NACl (or the fish salt found in aquarium stores).
  • Then preparing for 500 to 2000 millilitres of water, the more pure the water is used the better. The suggested water is reverse osmosis, rainwater that falls directly into the container without going through the roof, or water coming from an AC drip.
  • Also, prepare for a minimum measure of one gram of weight to gain more sensitivity.

2. Calibration Steps

Once calibration fluid has been prepared, you can do digital TDS calibration. Keep in mind that the digital TDS Meters don't have a screw player on the back because it uses digital calibration methods. Here are his steps:

  • Turn on the TDS Meters first
  • Insert TDS Meters into calibration fluid
  • Press the 'TEMPP' button and hold for a while until the number is blinking if the number is shown below 1000 ppm, raise the number by pressing 'TEMPP'.
  • If the given number exceeds 1000 ppm, reduce the number by pressing 'HOLD' key
  • If reading shows a thousand ppm, press' TEMP' button and hold it until it doesn't blink
  • Check and measure recalibrate fluid to make sure it's 1000 ppm (if yes, TDS Meters have been calibrated correctly and ready to use)
  • Save calibration fluid if it will be used again in the next calibration.

Meter TDS Usage
  • To measure the fluid levels,
  • Enter the tip of the TDS Meter into a container containing water or liquid that wants to be known for its TDS value by about 5 centimeters.
  • Wait 2-3 minutes until TDS readings are stable on screen.
  • Remember that TDS Meters cannot be used to measure some type of liquid like alcohol, accu water, and other kinds of water.
  • Liquid like seawater or water with high salt content can damage the TDS Meters.
  • The very cold or hot water can also damage the TDS Meters and cause unprecision results.

Calibration benefits on Digital Meters TDS

As with other gauges, TDS Meters can either go into error or inaccurate if used too often. If this happens, it's time to calibrate. Some benefits can be obtained from a routine calibration:

  • Make sure that the measurement remains consistent with the specifications
  • Get the difference between the actual size and the size shown by the gauge
  • Support quality control process
  • It can be used to measure the level of nutritious greed, hydroponic plants and invisible solids that are dissolved in drinking water.

Conclusion

The TDS digital Meters are tools used to measure water quality and meet human needs. The ability to calibrate TDS digital meters precisely is crucial when it no longer works optimal.
