Linear temperature correction:
In moderately and highly conductive solutions, temperature correction can be
based on a linear equation involving a temperature coefficient (θ). The
coefficient is usually expressed as a conductivity variation in %/°C.
Linear temperature correction is used, e.g. for saline solutions, acids and
leaching solutions.

Note: the correction is accurate only within a limited temperature range around
T1 and T2. The greater the difference between T and Tref, the higher the risk of
error.
Calculating Temperature Coefficients (θ)
By measuring the conductivity of a sample at temperature T1 close to Tref and
another temperature T2, you can calculate the temperature coefficient by
using
the following equation:
