Practical salinity scale (UNESCO 1978)

In the SG3 and SG7 conductivity meter the salinity is calculated according to the official definition of UNESCO
1978, Therefore the salinity Spsu of a sample in psu (practical salinity unit) at standard atmospheric pres-
sure is calculated as follows:
a = 0.0080 b
0 0
a = -0.1692 b
1 1
a = 25.3851 b
2 2
a = 14.0941 b
3 3
a = -7.0261 b
4 4
a = 2.7081 b
5 5
