Boomer,
For all us brain dead people let me just say that NaCI is Sodium Chloride, basically table salt.


Here's a compilation of salinity standards that people can make out of dry table salt and water (using a good balance):

If you want an S=35 standard for specific gravity, try 3.7 weight percent NaCl in water at 20 deg C

If you want an S=35 standard for refractive index, try 3.6 weight percent NaCl in water

If you want an S=35 standard for conductivity, try 3.17 weight percent NaCl in water

OK for those of us that don't have a scale or a way to measure this what would you suggest we do? I am wanting to get my refractometer right on the money. I take it that I should be using the 3.6 weight, and how much water should be used when mixing these.

Thanks for being so informative here we all thank you
