A scientific instrument used to measure electrical conductivity or conductance in solutions or materials.
From 'conductivity' or 'conduct' (Latin 'conducere') plus '-meter' (from Greek 'metron,' meaning measure). This is a variant or more specific term than 'conductimeter,' emphasizing conductivity measurement.
Conductometers are the unsung heroes of water quality testing—they instantly tell you how pure your water is by measuring conductivity, which is why every aquarium and laboratory has one; distilled water conducts almost nothing, but tap water conducts plenty.
