Salinity – Measurement with HORIBA Instruments
Salinity refers to the concentration of dissolved salts in water, typically expressed in parts per thousand (ppt) or percentage (%). Freshwater from rivers has a salinity of 0.5 ppt or less, while seawater averages about 35 ppt.
Why is salinity measurement important?
Important for:
- Aquaculture & Fish Farming: Salinity levels affect the growth and health of aquatic organisms.
- Agriculture & Irrigation: Salinity impacts soil quality and plant development.
- Food Industry: Controlling salt content is crucial for taste, preservation, and product quality.
- Drinking Water Monitoring: Ensuring salinity levels remain within permissible limits.
