That is a MOST enlightening chart! Now I understand why most PPMs are higher than mine - I have a Hanna Meter.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

LOL... EC is the standard on which ALL ppm measurements are calculated. Some PPMS are calculated different than others. EC is just universal, the Electrical Conductivity of your res mix. Of course, it measures ALL nutes together, so its to be taken with a grain of "salt" Generally used to adjust the initial mix of your res, and watch the overall nute fluctuation.

I did this post a while back about this subject...

Quote:
EC value X 10 gives the CF value
CF value X 65(conversion factor of 6.5) gives TDS value
So on my EC meter a reading of 2.0(EC) X 10(for CF value) X 68(Conversion Factor of 6.8) = 1360 ppm
but using the different convertion factor 2.0 X 10 X 50(conversion factor 5.0) = 1000 ppm.

These are some of the convertion factors out there, you can see the diference it can make using one meter or another...

1 ms/cm (EC 0.1 or CF 10) = 500 ppm
1 ms/cm (EC 0.1 or CF 10) = 640 ppm
1 ms/cm (EC 0.1 or CF 10) = 680 ppm (mine)
1 ms/cm (EC 0.1 or CF 10) = 700 ppm

At least my meter will give me a low ppm compared to a conversion factor of 5.0. I know I´ll be on the low side.

I really wanna start using EC but since I had to learn about this later on I´m right now stuck on ppms... but I´m flicking my meter to EC more ofter now to start getting a hang of it.

hope this helps.
My meter is a Milwaukee SM802, it is the only meter of this brand that uses the 6.8 convertion factor.

Thanks Drummerboy!!! This is a most helpful tool and I feel comfortable knowing that when I go to 2.4 EC that I'm only at 1200-1600 ppms... No wonder I've been seeing defs at a lower EC... I'm running strong from now on!! Thanks again... this budz for you!
