4. Enter the value, then confirm.
Enter a salinity correction value
Dissolved oxygen measurements in saline samples can show an apparent DO value that is very
different from the actual DO value. To correct for the influence of dissolved salts in a sample, enter a
salinity correction factor.
Note: If the presence or amount of salinity in the process is unknown, consult with the treatment facility engineering
staff.
1. Use a conductivity meter to measure the conductivity of the sample in mS/cm at a reference
temperature of 20 °C (68 °F).
2. Use
to estimate the salinity correction factor in parts per thousand (‰) saturation.
Note: The chloride ion concentration, in g/kg is equal to the chlorinity of the sample. Salinity is calculated with
the formula: Salinity = 1.80655 × chlorinity.
Salinity can be calculated with the relationship in section 2520 B of Standard Methods for the
Examination of Water and Wastewater.
