Salinity

Salinity is a measurement that has different meanings in different industries. Overall it is a measurement of salts in water. Salts can be measured by electrolytic conductivity (EC), refractometry, titration of chloride, or specifically for sodium chloride using a sodium Ion-Selective Electrode (ISE). Salinity measurements can be broken down into two major forms. Those that are for oceanographic studies for seawater salinity and those for food or brine solutions in which there is a weight/weight or weight/volume relationship.
