CONDUCTIVITY STANDARD SOLUTIONS & BUFFERS
 Myron L DS, pDS, TechPro™ and ULTRAMETER™ are factory calibrated with NIST traceable
standard solutions having specific conductivity/TDS values. Myron L Company Standard
Solutions are made under strictly controlled conditions using reagent grade salts. These salts
are mixed with deionized water having a resistivity of at least 5 megohm-cm purity. Myron L
Company Standard Solutions are accurate to within ±1.0% of potassium chloride reference
solutions. These solutions are traceable to National Institute of Standards and Technology
primary solutions. The original conductivity data for all solutions are derived from International
Critical Tables Volume No. 6, pp 229-239.
Solution MSDS Sheets are available here

The following conductivity standard
solutions and pH buffers are used for factory calibration. Regular use of these solutions is recommended for greatest instrument
accuracy. Frequency of conductivity recalibration depends upon use, but once every three months should be sufficient for an
instrument used daily. pH models should be recalibrated with pH 7 buffer every 1-2 weeks, with 4 and 10 buffers every 6-8 weeks.
pH buffers and standard solutions are available in quart and gallon plastic bottles, ready to use.

Note: RE-10 Range Extenders are usually calibrated with 442-30,000 standard solutions
(30,000/442; 18,235/NaCI; 30,100/microsiemens) or 442-15,000 (15,000/442; 9462/NaCI; 16,630 microsiemens)
Refer to the following for actual calibration point values:
Conductivity instruments are a convenient way to determine the parts per million of
total dissolved solids (ppm/TDS) in boilers, cooling towers, reverse osmosis systems, etc. Although the International Unit (SI) of measuring conductivity
is the microsiemens/cm (also known as micromhos/cm), a direct reading in ppm/TDS is sometimes preferred.
Myron L conductivity instruments and monitor/controllers
are calibrated to read in ppm/442, ppm/NaCI, or microsiemens. All three values are shown on the label of our Standard Solutions. The relationship among these
standards can be seen in the chart below.

Notes:
- 442 Natural Water Standard is a trademark of the Myron L Company originating in 1964.
- All values are cross-referenced @ 25°C.
- * Because of environmental factors, accuracy of this solution cannot be guaranteed to destination.
442 Natural Water Standard Solution
is used in calibrating many Myron L Instruments. It is the best choice when measuring boiler and cooling water samples, city water supply, lakes, wells, etc. "442" refers to the combination of salts mixed with deionized water to make this standard: 40% sodium sulfate, 40% sodium bicarbonate, 20% sodium chloride. A combination of standard salts is necessary, since natural water salt type and concentration can vary greatly by location. After much research, the 442 Standard was developed by
Myron L Company in 1964. It remains the world's most accepted such standard.
NaCl Standard Solution is offered to calibrate
instruments which measure any sample that is predominantly NaCI (sodium chloride), such as sea water, brackish water, etc. 1000 ppm of NaCI has conductivity of
2000 micromhos. Note how this 1:2 relationship is continuously variable and decreases as ppm NaCl increases.
KCI Standard Solution is used to calibrate
conductivity instruments which read directly in microsiemens (micromhos) or millisiemens (1000 microsiemens). KCI (potassium chloride) is a very stable salt
and is an international calibration standard for conductivity measurement.
pH Buffer Solutions of 4, 7, and 10, are mold
inhibited, and accurate to within ± 0.01 pH units @ 25°C. Myron L buffers are traceable to NIST certified pH referenced and are color-coded for instant
identification.
