I just got back my triton icp test results and my sodium is shown to be 1.004 mg/l. Can anyone tell me what that is in ppt?
thanks

Are you trying to calculate salinity from the level of sodium?I just got back my triton icp test results and my sodium is shown to be 1.004 mg/l. Can anyone tell me what that is in ppt?

I was curious about this as well, as my most recent ICP test showed my sodium to be on the low end of their range, but my salinity as read by freshly calibrated refractometer was actually a bit high when I sent the sample in - close to 36ppt.Are you trying to calculate salinity from the level of sodium?
It's more complicated than that.
Interesting, my ICP test came back 10310, which would equate to around 33ppt. Interestingly enough that’s exactly what my Apex probe says. I assumed it was off because my refractometer, calibrated with a 35ppt solution, reads 35. Should I assume that my refractometer is off if I have 2 data points including ICP lab test saying 33?copying my response from the duplicate thread:
What do you mean its the only thing relayed to salinity? Magnesium, calcium, sulfate all would be good to know, even if you do not have chloride.
That said, 35 ppt seawater has 10,800 ppm sodium, so if you solution matches NSW in composition, that 10,040 ppm (my guess that you left off a zero) is equivalent to 32.5 ppt.
