14. Appendix D - Glossary of Terms

ampere

(A) - SI unit of electric current; one coulomb per second.

amplitude

- The maximum deviation of an alternating current from its average value during its

cycle.

ASTM

- American Society for Testing and Materials

calibrate

- To determine, check, or rectify the graduation of any instrument giving quantitative

measurements.

calibrator solution

- A solution of known value used to calibrate.

capacitance

property of being able to collect a charge of electricity. C = Q/V.

capacitor

- An electrical component able to accumulate and hold an electric charge.

cell constant

(K) - The ratio of the distance between two electrodes to the area normal to the

current flow. K=d/A.

cgs

- Abbreviation for the centimeter-gram-second system of metric units. Mostly superseded by

SI units.

conductance

(k) - The ratio of the current in a conductor to the potential difference between its

ends; the ability of a conductor to transmit current; the reciprocal of resistance. The SI unit is

siemens (S), also measured in mhos.

conductivity

(

ℵ

) - The ratio of the current density in a conductor to the electric field causing the

current to flow; the inverse of resistivity; the conductance between opposite faces of a cube of the

measured material of 1 cm (cgs units) or 1 m (SI units) edge. Measured in mho/cm (cgs units) or

S/m (SI units)

conductivity cell

- Any cell with electrodes used to measure the conductivity of liquid.

coulomb -

The quantity of electric charge which flowing by any point in one second produces a

current of one ampere.

current

(I) - The rate of flow of an electric charge, usually expressed in amperes.

electrode

- A conductor whereby an electric current enters or leaves a liquid, gas, or vacuum.

ion

- Any atom or molecule that has an electric charge due to the loss or gain of valence

electrons.

mks

- Abbreviation for the meter-kilogram-second system of metric units.

mho

- A unit of conductance; the reciprocal of an ohm.

micro

(

) - The metric prefix indicating 10

-6

milli

(m) - The metric prefix indicating 10

-3
