Abstract
Circuitry, electrode configuration and calibration procedures are described for a conductance device. An alternative construction of the circuit is given allowing computer capture of the instrument response. A correlation is displayed between conductance (mho) measured by the device with a fixed electrode configuration and the response of a commercial conductivity meter (mho/cm). The correlation is established for aqueous solutions exhibiting conductivities in a three orders of magnitude range. Conductance measurements are listed for a homologous series of alcohols.
