Samples are measured after a simple user calibration with distilled or deionized water. Within seconds, the refractive index and temperature are measured and converted into one of three popular measurement units; Practical Salinity Units (PSU), Salinity in parts per thousand (ppt), or Specific Gravity (S.G. (20\/20)). All conversion algorithms are based upon respected scientific publications using the physical properties of seawater (not sodium chloride). The temperature (in °C or °F) is also displayed on the large dual level display along with helpful message codes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKey features include:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAutomatic Temperature Compensation (ATC)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBattery operation with Low Power indicator\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAutomatically turns off after 3 minutes of non-use.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Milwaukee Instruments","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46714413514904,"sku":"810666006007","price":219.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/0950\/9016\/files\/milwaukee_ma887_salinity_tester.png?v=1750275381","url":"https:\/\/thepetsource.ca\/products\/milwaukee-digital-refractometer-salinity-tester-ma887","provider":"The Pet Source","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
