Salinity testing

Salinity testing measures the amount of dissolved salts in water, which is important for understanding water quality in environments like oceans, lakes, or aquariums. It typically involves taking a water sample and using specialized equipment or chemical tests to determine the concentration of salts, mainly sodium chloride. Results are often expressed in units like parts per thousand (ppt) or practical salinity units (PSU). Monitoring salinity helps manage ecosystems, ensure suitable conditions for aquatic life, and assess environmental health or the impact of human activities.
