PLATE II — Potentiometric soil & water conductivity cell calibration setup.

Reliable environmental decisions depend on calibrated physical measurements. Explore technical methodologies spanning bulk soil EC sensing, pore-water dielectric probes, TDS gravimetric approximations, and continuous watershed telemetry.

TDS & EC Conversion Calculator

Convert electrical conductivity and total dissolved solids with flexible conversion factors.

Conversion Factor (TDS / EC µS/cm)
Calculated Output
640 ppm

1,000 µS/cm × 0.64 = 640 ppm

EC (µS/cm) 1,000
EC (mS/cm) 1
Estimated TDS (ppm) 640
Scientific Caveat: TDS-to-EC conversion is inherently approximate, not a universal physical constant. The true ratio varies according to the specific ionic composition, ion valence, temperature compensation, and dissolved organic or mineral species in each water or soil extract sample.
