Conductivity Calibration K 10 Set — Atlas Scientific
The Atlas Scientific Conductivity Calibration K 10 Set provides the reference solutions needed to calibrate K 10 conductivity probes — high-range probes designed for measuring conductivity in saltwater, brine, industrial water, and other high-TDS (total dissolved solids) environments.
Conductivity sensors require calibration with a solution of known EC (electrical conductivity) value to produce accurate readings. The K 10 probe constant is optimized for high-conductivity liquids, and this calibration set is formulated to match that range precisely.
Probe constant guide: Atlas Scientific offers conductivity probes in different K values for different
ranges. Make sure your calibration solution matches your probe's K constant:
K 0.1 (freshwater/low EC), K 1.0 (general purpose), K 10 (saltwater/high EC).
Why calibrate conductivity sensors?
- Cell constant drift: Probe geometry and fouling affect readings over time
- Temperature compensation: Conductivity varies ~2% per °C — calibration at known temperature ensures accuracy
- Measurement confidence: Without calibration, EC readings can be significantly off, leading to incorrect salinity, TDS, or nutrient concentration calculations
Conductivity probe K-value comparison
| Probe K Value | EC Range | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| K 0.1 | 0.5–200 µS/cm | Ultra-pure water, deionized water, distilled water |
| K 1.0 | 5–200,000 µS/cm | Freshwater, hydroponics, drinking water, general purpose |
| K 10 (this calibration) | 10,000–2,000,000 µS/cm | Saltwater, brine, seawater, industrial wastewater |
Compatible Atlas Scientific products
Use with Atlas Scientific K 10 conductivity probes and the EZO™ Conductivity Circuit. Also compatible with other K 10 conductivity cells that require standard calibration solutions.
What you can monitor
Saltwater aquarium salinity, ocean and reef water quality, brine concentration in food processing, industrial wastewater discharge compliance, desalination plant output, and any high-conductivity liquid.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use this with a K 1.0 probe?
No. This calibration set is formulated for K 10 probes. Using it with a K 1.0 probe will produce inaccurate calibration.
Use the K 1.0 calibration set instead.
How often should I calibrate?
Monthly for most applications. More frequently in harsh or fouling environments.
What's the difference between EC, TDS, and salinity?
They're related measurements. EC measures how well water conducts electricity. TDS and salinity are derived from EC
using conversion factors. The EZO™ Conductivity Circuit can output all three.
