Unbeatable Cost Performance

The controller supports wide voltage power supply, electronic clock display, customizable interface language, and can record and download historical data. It features 0/4-20mA current output and an RS485 interface, and its large size supports various installation methods.

In addition to displaying conductivity values, it can also display resistivity, TDS, salinity, acid/base concentration, and other related parameters.

Various Conductivity Electrode

Graphite conductivity electrodes offer excellent chemical stability and are not easily corroded in various electrolytes, making them suitable for measuring solutions with high conductivity. Ring-shaped magnetic induction conductivity electrodes provide non-contact measurement and are suitable for corrosive, high-viscosity solutions containing particles or suspended matter, such as strong acids, strong alkalis, sewage, and slurries, meeting the needs of various industrial and scientific research applications.

Stainless steel is resistant to neutral or weakly corrosive solutions, has low cost, and is suitable for conventional working conditions; Titanium alloy has stronger corrosion resistance and is suitable for strong acid, strong alkali, or high-temperature environments.

Industrial Case Studies: Optimizing Water Quality Monitoring in Harsh Environments

About Conductivity

Conductivity is a key water quality parameter that measures a solution’s ability to conduct electrical current, directly related to the concentration of dissolved ions such as salts, acids, and bases. In water analysis, electrical conductivity (EC) is widely used to estimate total dissolved solids (TDS) and assess water purity in applications ranging from drinking water to industrial wastewater treatment. Higher ion concentration results in higher conductivity, making it an essential indicator for monitoring chemical composition, contamination levels, and overall process stability.

The conductivity measurement principle is based on applying an alternating voltage between electrodes and measuring the resulting current flow, which is proportional to the ionic conductivity of the solution. Contact conductivity sensors typically use 2-electrode or 4-electrode designs to improve accuracy and reduce polarization effects, while inductive (electrodeless) conductivity sensors use electromagnetic fields for non-contact measurement in corrosive or fouling environments. Combined with temperature compensation and intelligent controllers, conductivity sensors provide stable, real-time data for process control, chemical dosing optimization, and scaling or corrosion prevention in industrial water systems.

Advanced electrical conductivity monitoring is a vital pillar of environmental sustainability, providing real-time detection of ionic pollutants to prevent the degradation of precious freshwater ecosystems. By accurately tracking Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) and salinity levels, industries can optimize wastewater treatment processes to minimize their ecological footprint and ensure strict compliance with global green living and discharge standards. This essential data facilitates proactive water resource conservation, allowing for the safe recycling of industrial water and the long-term protection of biodiversity in our natural waterways.

Frequently Asked Questions

Get expert answers to your complex monitoring challenges and find the perfect solution for your facility.

1. How do I choose between a 2-electrode and 4-electrode conductivity sensor?
Use 2-electrode sensors for low-conductivity pure water and 4-electrode or inductive sensors for high-concentration, fouling-prone industrial liquids to prevent polarization.
2. Can conductivity sensors measure Total Dissolved Solids (TDS)?
Yes, our controllers automatically convert conductivity measurements into TDS values using a configurable conversion factor based on your specific water chemistry.
3. What is the maximum temperature and pressure these sensors can withstand?
Our industrial-grade sensors are engineered with PFA and Titanium to operate reliably in extreme conditions up to 150°C and 15 Bar.
4. How often should a conductivity controller be calibrated?
Calibration frequency depends on the environment, but our smart controllers simplify the process with one-touch automatic buffer recognition for laboratory-grade accuracy.
5. Is temperature compensation necessary for accurate conductivity readings?
Absolutely; since conductivity varies with temperature, our sensors feature built-in NTC10K or PT1000 elements for automatic, real-time temperature compensation.
6. Can the conductivity controller integrate with my existing PLC or SCADA?
Yes, all our digital controllers feature built-in RS485 Modbus RTU for seamless, high-speed data integration with any industrial automation system.
7. What causes conductivity sensor drift, and how can it be prevented?
Drift is often caused by electrode fouling or polarization; using our maintenance-free inductive sensors or 4-electrode technology effectively eliminates these issues.
8. How many sensors can be connected to a single multi-channel controller?
Our MCC500 series supports up to 20 channels, allowing you to monitor multiple process points simultaneously from one centralized, 4.3-inch TFT display.
