SALINITY COMPENSATION

If the sample contains significant concentration of salinity, the read out values

must be corrected, taking into account the lower degree of oxygen solubility in

this situation.

Before taking any DO measurements remember to set the salinity value from

the SETUP menu (page 33).
The salinity affects the D.O. concentration, decreasing its value. The table below

shows the maximum oxygen solubility at various temperatures and salinity levels.
