Low and High Range Salinity Tester

HI98326 (DiST®9)

Key Features

Waterproof
Automatic temperature compensation (ATC)
Dual pin graphite EC probe

Product Description

The HI98326 (DiST®9) is a compact, waterproof, pocket-sized Salinity tester designed for the measurement of salinity in salt water aquariums, aquaculture, brackish water, or other salt-water bodies.

HI98326 features amperometric graphite electrodes that provide improved repeatability in measurements as the pins do not oxidize. Additionally, this tester offers an exposed temperature sensor for faster response times and automatic single-point calibration.

Salinity results are displayed in either parts per thousand (ppt), Practical Salinity Units (PSU), or Specific Gravity (S.G.).

A blue, pocket-sized salinity tester with a digital display showing '1.005' and '25.0', labeled 'DIST 9' and 'Salinity Tester'. It includes a black protective cap.
