salinometer
Measures dissolved salt
A salinometer is an instrument for measuring the salt content of a solution, typically seawater.
These devices work through various methods—some measure electrical conductivity, others use density or refractive index—but all aim to determine how much dissolved salt is present.
Salinometers are essential tools in oceanography, marine biology, and industries where monitoring salinity affects product quality or environmental conditions.
