conductivity testing

Conductivity testing measures how well a material can conduct electricity or heat. In liquids, it often involves using a probe to pass an electrical current through the liquid, which helps indicate the concentration of dissolved ions. Higher conductivity typically means more ions are present, suggesting greater purity or contamination levels. This testing is vital in various fields, including water quality assessment, industrial processes, and electronics, as it helps ensure systems function correctly and safely by revealing important properties of materials or solutions.
