PRACTICAL SALINITY SCALE (UNESCO 1978)
According to the definition, salinity of a sample in psu (practical salinity units) is calculated using the
following formula:
where:
R
T
- coefficient;
C
T
(sample) - uncompensated conductivity at T °C;
C(35,15)= 42914 µS/cm - the corresponding conductivity of KCl solution containing a mass of 32.4356 g
KCl / 1 Kg solution;
r
T
- temperature compensation polynom

Note: The formula can be applied for salinity values between 0 and 42 psu.
The formula can be applied for temperatures between -2 °C and 35 °C.
