Trying to calibrate my tds ec meter

Ok so I added 1g of NaCl to 1 liter of distilled water. The tds came to 1023 instead of 1000 is this close enough to consider human error or residue in measuring container? The EC reads 21/44 what does this mean. That is us/cm.

2.3% off. I would say that’s acceptable all things considered.
Found this for a Blue Lab tester. Seems your well within range.

You can buy a standard conductivity solution to verify your meter Or calibrate the span. if you choose. within 5% you’re good. Also the little TDS meters are not temperature compensated so depending on Temperature of fluid It can read different .
Hope that helps good luck. :v::+1:

It has temp reading on display. Do you understand the ec reading? 21/46

How did you know it was blue? Lol

EC = conductivity , PPM would be about half.
1000 Conductivity with equal 500 PPM
