USA 1 ms/cm (EC 1.0 or CF 10) = 500 ppm European 1 ms/cm (EC 1.0 or CF 10) = 640 ppm Australian 1 ms/cm (EC 1.0 or CF 10) = 700 ppm For example, Hanna, Milwaukee 1 ms/cm (EC 1.0 or CF 10) = 500 ppm Eutech 1 ms/cm (EC 1.0 or CF 10) = 640 ppm Truncheon 1 ms/cm (EC 1.0 or CF 10) = 700 ppm Calculating the conversion factor If your meter allows you to switch between EC and TDS units, your conversion factor can be easily determined by dividing one by the other. Place the probe in the solution and read TDS in ppm. Change to EC on the meter and read EC in ms/cm. Conversion factor = ppm / ec. [Note: ms must be converted to us: One millisiemen = 1000 microsiemens (1.0 ms/cm = 1000.0 us/cm) According to the chart below: 1.0 ms/cm = 500 ppm (USA Hanna) 1000 us/cm = 500 ppm Conversion factor = ppm / (ms/cm * 1000) .50 = 500ppm / (1000us/cm) ] The answer is your meter's convertion factor and should be a number between 0.50 and 0.72 To improve accuracy, take ec and ppm readings from your res daily for about ten days. Average the conversion factors. The more data points that you use, the closer you will be to finding your true conversion factor.
