The Apera 5052 Saltwater Salinity Tester is designed for easy and reliable salinity measurements for aquariums, aquaculture, and environmental monitoring. Apera’s unique platinum-coated sensor with automatic temperature compensation (ATC) ensures accuracy and precision of the measuring results in a wide range –an accuracy of ±1.5% of full range in 0 to 100 ppt (=100,000 ppm).
The meter is designed with a single-button operation powered by 2*AAA batteries. Auto. Power-off and low-battery reminder functions are available.
Comes with a complete kit including the 5052 tester, 2 AAA Alkaline batteries, 50 MS/cm calibration solution, and a carrying case. 2-year warranty with the instrument and 6-month warranty with the sensor.
Note: The Apera 5052 tester measures practical salinity (NOT absolute salinity) converted from conductivity using The Practical Salinity Scale 1978 (PSS-78) and is standardized against the Normal Standard Seawater (S=35), which is accurately calibrated in conductivity ratio (K15). The PSS-78 is recommended by all oceanographic organizations as the scale in which to report salinity data.
