Choosing a Conductivity Cell
Decide which cell will be the most useful for your conditions by considering the conductivity of
the solution you want to measure, the size of the sample and if temperature measurement or
compensation is required.
The chart above reflects general guidelines. Refer to cell specifications for details.

Dip cells are generally used for routine conductivity
measurements. The 3254 Fill Cell is designed for small
sample or high throughput work. It requires only 5 ml of
sample and can make measurements quickly from one
sample to the next.
The 3255 Flow Cell is designed for in-line conductivity
measurements, such as for ultrapure water systems.
For temperature measurement, temperature
compensation or salinity, use YSI 3200 series cells.
