The HI98326 (DiST 9) is a compact, waterproof, pocket-sized Salinity tester designed for the measurement of salinity in salt water aquariums, aquaculture, brackish water, or other salt-water bodies. Additionally, the HI98326 is useful in industries such as printing, textiles, food and beverage as well as research and environmental protection institutes where low level salinity values are needed.
HI98326 features an exposed temperature sensor for faster response times and amperometric graphite electrodes for improved measurement repeatability (pins do not oxidize).
To provide the best resolution and accuracy for each measured sample, the tester defaults to the Auto range mode where High or Low range is automatically selected. Additionally, users can opt to manually configure High or Low reading mode in Setup.
Results are displayed in parts per thousand (ppt), Practical Salinity Units (PSU), or Specific Gravity (S.G.).
- Waterproof
- Automatic temperature compensation (ATC)
- Dual pin graphite EC probe
Primary Applications:
salt water aquariums, aquaculture, brackish water, other salt-water bodies.
