Salinity calibration solution

[Garf]

Been buying this for years, I didn't know anything else existed or mattered.

Shouldn’t that label say 53 millisiemens, not microsiemens?

Wow, I didn't notice that.

Doesn't give one a lot of confidence that they know what they are doing. lol

Thats a heck of a omission! Its been calibrating at 1.026 but man, thats crazy. You'd think the label would be correct. I'll have to check the bottle I have @ home!!

Old thread and this is not a suggestion,,, just a curiosity...

If you happen to get your DT to 35.0 ppt and 77 degrees with your most trusted precision devices:
What if you calibrate your cheapie salinity devices to your DT water?
Are there inherent problems with that which aren't obvious to me?

If the initial measurement is correct, it’s a fine plan. :)
