ec2tds: Electral Conductivity (EC) to Total Dissolvid Solids (TDS)

In salah31416/RLimnology: RLimnology

Description

Calculating total dissolved solids from a conductivity measurement in water

Usage

ec2tds(ec, k = 0.64)

Arguments

ec	A numeric vector of EC (microS/cm)
k	A TDS factor

Details

When calculating total dissolved solids from a conductivity measurement, a TDS factor is used. This TDS constant is dependent on the type of solids dissolved in water, and can be changed depending on the water source.

Value

A numeric vector of TDS (mg/L)
