I bought 2 different calibration solutions and one reads 1.025 and the other reads 1.028. I want to create my own for s35. After reading Dr Randy's assumed old writeup:
I do believe that I need 6.2g of iodized salt to 161.0g of distilled water to reach a salinity of 1.0264 @20C. I am wanting to verify and then offset a Milwaukee digital refractometer which does temp compensation so I assume the temp doesn't matter. It's the older green one and has served me well for a few years at making saltwater with a reading of 1.027 on the meter.
Is this correct?
