View Technical SpecsThe Physics of Total Dissolved Solids: Transduction Science & Metrology
A rigorous examination of electrical conductivity-to-TDS mathematical models, ionic species dynamics, and electrode boundary layer impedance in severe industrial streams.
Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) constitutes the aggregate mass of all inorganic salts (principally calcium, magnesium, potassium, sodium, bicarbonates, chlorides, and sulfates) alongside minor fractions of organic matter dissolved in aqueous solution, expressed as milligrams per liter (mg/L) or parts per million (ppm). In high-throughput industrial and municipal fluid circuits, laboratory gravimetric determination via evaporation to dryness followed by oven baking at 180°C (standard method EPA 160.1 / SM 2540 C) cannot deliver dynamic process feedback. Continuous in-line tracking requires precision electrometric transduction, exploiting the fundamental relationship between ionic carrier mobility and Specific Conductance (EC, normalized to 25°C).
The standard operational transduction equation utilized across BOQU analytical platforms establishes:
Electrochemical Conversion & Temperature Normalization Formula
TDS (mg/L) = ke × κ25
Where κ25 is the specific electrical conductance normalized to 25.0°C in μS/cm, and ke represents the empirical conversion factor dictated by solute speciation (typically 0.50 to 0.55 for high-purity sodium chloride systems, 0.65 to 0.70 for common natural water matrices, and 0.85 to 0.92 for concentrated industrial sulfate/gypsum waters). Normalization follows linear or non-linear temperature compensation: κ25 = κT / [1 + α(T - 25)], where α denotes the temperature coefficient (%/°C), calibrated precisely by our dual-temperature bath benches.
At high ionic concentrations or in streams experiencing process fouling, classical two-pin stainless steel contacts degrade rapidly due to the formation of electrical double layers (EDL), producing capacitive reactance and catastrophic polarization errors. As an established wholesale factory and OEM research powerhouse, Shanghai BOQU Instrument Co., Ltd. counters these phenomena through two proprietary architectures: ultra-high-frequency pulsed AC excitation across four-electrode platinum configurations, and electrodeless toroidal inductive sensors encapsulated in virgin PEEK or PVDF polymers.
Global B2B Procurement Dynamics & Application Engineering
How leading multinational engineering procurement contractors (EPCs) and process facilities deploy BOQU TDS and conductivity systems to safeguard critical assets.
Semiconductor & Ultrapure Water
Sub-ppb ionic tracking in UPW polishing loops requires low-cell-constant sensors (K=0.01 cm⁻¹). BOQU electro-polished titanium sensors verify resistivities up to 18.2 MΩ·cm, ensuring zero trace salt contamination during wafer rinsing and photolithography stages.
SWAS & Thermal Power Plants
Boiler feedwater, drum blowdown, and superheated steam require specialized Steam and Water Analysis Systems. BOQU online transmitters calculate differential cation conductivity, identifying trace chloride and bicarbonate ingress that otherwise induces turbine blade stress corrosion.
Industrial Desalination & RO
Seawater Reverse Osmosis (SWRO) facilities rely on BOQU high-range toroidal conductivity systems across high-pressure membrane stages. Our sensors detect localized membrane seal rupture, scaling precipitation, and calculate real-time salt rejection efficiency percentages.
Pharmaceutical WFI & CIP
Fully compliant with USP <645> water conductivity regulations and EP 2.2.38. Featuring 316L electropolished stainless steel wetted parts with Ra < 0.4 μm, tri-clamp sanitary process connections, and direct non-compensated raw conductance reporting for batch validation.
Commercial CEA & Hydroponics
Precision agriculture commands continuous tracking of fertilizer salt concentrations. BOQU multi-channel EC/TDS controllers prevent nutrient burn or osmotic stress in commercial vertical farms by driving variable-speed peristaltic dosing pumps directly via RS485 loops.
Severe Chemical Wastewater
Heavy industrial effluent characterized by extreme fluctuations in pH, surfactant coatings, and suspended solids causes conventional galvanic cells to fail. BOQU non-contact electrodeless sensors withstand aggressive hydrofluoric acid, caustic liquors, and organic solvents.

Technological Evolution: Smart Edge Sensing & Predictive Diagnostics
How Shanghai BOQU Instrument is integrating artificial intelligence, MEMS miniaturization, and self-validating algorithms into tomorrow's water instrumentation.
Edge Machine Learning Calibration
Modern BOQU IoT digital transmitters embed neural network drift-compensation models. By cross-referencing process temperature, pH fluctuations, and real-time AC impedance spectra, the sensor dynamically compensates for bio-film buildup and mineral scale accumulation before accuracy is degraded.

Technical Questions Overseas Buyers & Engineers Ask
Straightforward answers regarding calibration physics, electrical interface, cable compensation, and severe-duty installations.
What is the exact mathematical difference between Conductivity and TDS?
Conductivity measures the volume-specific physical ability of an aqueous solution to carry an electric current via ion flux, expressed in μS/cm or mS/cm. TDS is a gravimetric mass quantification representing total dissolved solids in mg/L or ppm. Sensors calculate TDS by multiplying specific electrical conductance (κ) by a matrix-specific mathematical factor (ke). When ordering from BOQU, you can specify customer-configured ke curves in firmware or select linear/polynomial conversion profiles.
Why is temperature compensation critical for TDS accuracy?
Ionic velocity within an aqueous medium rises proportionally with fluid temperature due to reduced water viscosity and higher thermodynamic kinetic energy—causing conductivity readings to drift upwards by approximately 1.5% to 2.5% per degree Celsius even if salt concentrations remain completely unchanged. BOQU probes incorporate internal platinum RTD thermistors (Pt100 or Pt1000) situated within 1.5 mm of the wetted electrode surfaces to execute dynamic mathematical normalization back to 25.0°C in real time.
When should an engineer specify a Toroidal sensor over a 2-electrode sensor?
Two-electrode contact sensors perform impeccably in clean streams ranging from 0.055 to 10,000 μS/cm. However, in fluids with high salinity (>10,000 μS/cm), oily contaminants, heavy biological sludge, or aggressive chemical corrosives (such as concentrated sulfuric acid or caustic wash liquor), direct electrode metal polarizes and fouls quickly. BOQU electrodeless toroidal sensors utilize twin encapsulated magnetic coils in virgin PEEK; current is induced magnetically through the liquid loop without any wetted metallic contact, resulting in zero maintenance and zero polarization.
How does BOQU guarantee high-temperature survival during fermentation or steam cleaning?
BOQU established China's first specialized high-temperature water quality sensor laboratory. Our high-temperature sensors (such as pH5806 and high-temp conductivity probes) feature proprietary high-viscosity polymerized electrolytes, pressurized gel reservoirs, and specialized borosilicate glass compositions that resist thermal shock up to 130°C and pressures up to 6 bar through continuous autoclave and in-line SIP sanitization routines.
Can BOQU digital sensors link straight to my PLC without an intermediate transmitter?
Yes. BOQU's IOT-485 digital series integrates analog signal conditioning, 24-bit ADC digitization, temperature compensation calculations, and standard RS485 Modbus RTU telemetry directly inside the sensor body. You can wire the probe directly into PLC, DCS, or SCADA terminal strips across distances up to 500 meters without buying an external wall-mounted transmitter enclosure, saving substantial control cabinet footprint and capital expenditure.
What is the factory lead time for wholesale custom OEM/ODM production batches?
Because BOQU maintains comprehensive in-house control over mechanical lathe fabrication, glass blowing, PCB assembly, and calibration verification across our two owned Shanghai facilities (4,632 m²), typical production lead times for standard wholesale orders range from 5 to 10 working days. Custom OEM configurations (laser etched housings, specified cable lengths, customized firmware registers) are typically delivered within 2 to 3 weeks.
