38H-Series

High Salinity Standard Seawater, (S=38) is accurately calibrated in conductivity ratio for the temperature range 15°C to 30°C.  This standard is used in conjunction with P-Series to determine instrument offset and linearity at higher salinities, e.g. Mediterranean Sea.

The standards, which have a precisely known electrical conductivity ratio, are used for the calibration of salinity measurement devices.  IAPSO Standard Seawater is available in high quality, crimp sealed glass bottles, each containing ca.200ml of natural seawater.  Each bottle's label carries information on its conductivity ratio (K15) and salinity according to the Practical Salinity Scale 1978 (PSS78).

The bottle is made from pharmaceutical-grade glass, which minimises any interactions with the seawater and thereby increases the shelf-life of the product.

The bottle’s narrow-neck is sealed with a halobutyl, polymer-coated bung, providing a totally impervious barrier to evaporation.  A secure, tamper-evident seal is made with a colour-coded alloy crimp-cap.
