Conductivity measurements
Conductivity measurements assess how well a solution can carry an electrical current, which depends on the presence of ions—charged particles—in the liquid. A higher ion concentration means higher conductivity, indicating more dissolved salts, minerals, or pollutants. This measurement helps evaluate water quality, monitor industrial processes, and assess environmental conditions. Essentially, conductivity provides a quick, reliable way to gauge how "ionically active" a solution is, offering insights into its composition and purity.
