RBR: Delivery of MS-310 Micro Salinometer

07/02/2010

NOCS chose the MS-310 to continuously monitor the salinity bath at their calibration facility. Furthermore the design of the MS-310 allows the NOC to develop an automation and control system to direct the MS-310 to sample automatically. The selection of the MS-310 was made because it provides a highly accurate and stable ratio-metric determination of salinity that is temperature independent. The innovative dual cell approach removes the need for highly stable bath temperatures since both cells are surrounded by a well stirred oil bath to ensure thermal uniformity. This ensures that sample properties needn’t be changed by warming to match the salinometer, making it ideally suited to NOCS’ requirement to calibrate over a range of temperature.
The MS-310 achieves an accuracy of ±0.002 PSU and uses sample volumes of less than 20 ml. The consumption of expensive standard seawater is greatly reduced through a standardization technique which allows the standard sample to be reused for many measurements. The MS-310 is economical and versatile; it is small and portable and can be used in a laboratory, or in the field. Email: info@rbr-global.com
