| Abstract | The ratios Z_{K,t} of electrical conductivities of potassium chloride (KCI) solutions of known concentration ( K ) to standard seawater at the same temperature have been measured at 15\deg C and 24\deg C for solutions with Z_{k,15} between 0.96 and 1.04. The "normal" concentration ( N or K_{N} ) giving Z_{N,15}= 1 was found to be K_{N} = 32.4356 gKCI/kg solution. The effect of temperature on Z_{N,t} was measured over the range 15\deg C to 30\deg C. Equations are given for KCI concentration as a function of Z_{15} and the inverse function, for Z_{15}/Z_{24} as a function of Z_{24} (to allow use of a laboratory salinometer for the KCI-seawater comparisons), and Z_{N,t} as a function of temperature. |
