Advantages in performance of the RBR conductivity channel with Delrin™/ceramic inductive cell

This paper demonstrates several key advantages of the inductive conductivity sensor. In calibration the sensor has a linear response and may be calibrated with direct traceability to primary standards without assumptions about the salinity scale; one calibration can be used for a wide range of salinities and temperature compensation can be directly measured independently. In the field it has demonstrably superior passive exchange of measurand within the sensor and this is confirmed by the comparative TS plots when used simultaneously with an electrode based sensor.
