Worked Example: EC (μS/cm) ↔ TDS (ppm) Worked Example
Convert Electrical Conductivity (μS/cm & mS/cm) into TDS ppm on the 500, 640, and 700 scales.
- Enter the input measurement, system configuration, or astronomical parameter.
- Apply the standard conversion or analytical equation: TDS_500 = EC_mS × 500; TDS_640 = EC_mS × 640; TDS_700 = EC_mS × 700; EC_mS = EC_μS / 1000.
- Inspect the primary metric, secondary equivalents, and 3 real-time SVG graphs.
Result: Computes EC (μS/cm) ↔ TDS (ppm) via TDS_500 = EC_mS × 500; TDS_640 = EC_mS × 640; TDS_700 = EC_mS × 700; EC_mS = EC_μS / 1000.

Water EC (μS/cm & mS/cm) ↔ TDS (ppm 500 NaCl, 640 EU & 700 442 Scale) Converter: inputs, method, and how to read the result
Convert Electrical Conductivity (μS/cm & mS/cm) into TDS ppm on the 500, 640, and 700 scales.
Choose inputs for the case you are checking
The defaults are illustrative. Replace them with values for your case and keep the units shown beside each field.
- Electrical Conductivity Micro Siemens: Electrical Conductivity (EC) at 25°C in microsiemens per centimeter (μS/cm).
What the calculation includes
With the default values shown, TDS on 500 Scale (US / NaCl) is 700 ppm. The calculation follows EC (μS/cm) ↔ TDS (ppm) Formula; the formula and variable definitions above show how the inputs combine.
One-input check: With the other defaults held constant, changing Electrical Conductivity Micro Siemens from 1,400 μS/cm to 1,540 μS/cm changes TDS on 500 Scale (US / NaCl) from 700 ppm to 770 ppm. This is a comparison inside the calculator's stated model, not a prediction.
Where to use caution
- Uses official NIST Special Publication 811, IEEE/RFC systems engineering, APA psychometric, and USNO astronomical formulas.
- Empirical metallurgy and calendar conversions represent standard reference-condition approximations.
Scope: Global NIST, IEEE, APA & Astronomical Standard Check the assumptions and limitations against your situation before relying on the estimate.
