What is water's conductivity?

Answer 1

Conductivity water is water purified so that it has very low conductivity. (Makes perfect sense, right?)

I have only seen it as a historical term until recently (and it drove me nuts trying to find out what it is-- probably just like you). It is so called because the water itself has a low conductivity, but then you dissolve a solute into the water and measure the conductivity of the solution. So the water is the matrix, hence "conductivity water." In the older documents, there isn't a specification that I have found other than simply having conductivity that is "small compared to the value being measured."

In the more recent papers that I read, the term "conductivity" is accompanied by the term "ultrapure" and the specification of having a resistance greater than 18.2 mega-ohms.

Answer 2

Conductivity generally described as the ability or power to conduct or transmit heat, electricity, or sound. Water consists of two hydrogen and one oxygen atom. Water has a very less electrical conductivity. Can measure conductivity of water by using sensitive ampere meter.

Answer 3

Depends on what is dissolved in the water. I don't happen to remember what DI water value is but it is very low. EAsy to measure with a device called a conductivity meter which is calibrated using several standard solutions with a known conductivity.

Answer 4

Water conduction is very similar to air conduction. Water conduction is the transfer of heat throughout water. Hot water moves into cold water which then mixes creating warm water.
