HORIBA, the pioneer in user-friendly analysis

equipment, has now made it even easier

to measure conductivity

A pocket-size conductivity meter packed with advanced

features. This single device can accurately measure
minute samples in its unique built-in sampling chamber
or large samples by immersion.
The dual-function conductivity meter B-173 is in the
Flat measurement Immersed measurement
popular CARDY format, and has been made even smaller
for portability and convenience. Thanks to the
autoranging function, the measurement range of two
COMPACT CONDUCTIVITY METER
instruments is now combined into one. The B-173 is
packed with advanced features such as auto-calibration
and automatic temperature conversion.
HORIBA, a leader in analytical instruments, has
revolutionized conductivity measurement.
