塩分濃度センサー

When measuring a sample, the salinity sensor first obtains an accurate conductivity value, which is then converted into salinity through an internal algorithm.
Conductance or resistance is determined by measuring the current and voltage across the electrodes of the conductivity cell. Conductance (G) is defined as the reciprocal of resistance:

g = 1 / r = i / v

The conductance value depends on the geometry of the electrode plates and is represented by the セル定数 (K), which is the ratio of the distance between the electrodes (L) to the electrode surface area (A):

K = L / A

どこでだ：

• K - 導電率電極のセル定数
• A - 電極板の有効面積
• L - 電極板間の距離

This value is known as the セル定数 and can be calculated based on the electrode’s physical dimensions. For example, if two square electrode plates each have an area of 1 cm² and are spaced 1 cm apart, the cell constant is K = 1 cm⁻¹.
この電極を使って測定したコンダクタンス（G）が1000μSであれば、溶液の導電率は次のようになる：

κ = 1000 μS/cm

Conductance can be converted into standardized conductivity (κ), which is independent of the electrode configuration. This is done by multiplying the conductance by the cell constant:

κ = G × L / A = G × K

This conductivity value is then used to calculate salinity through predefined conversion formulas within the sensor.
