An absolute determination of aqueous electrolytic conductivity has been made for 0.01 molal (m) and 0.1 m potassium cliloride solutions, over the temperature range of 0 to 50 °C in 5 degree intervals. A cell with a removable center section of accurately known length and area was used for the measurements. Values were adjusted to be in conformity with the ITS-90 temperature scale. The overall uncertainty over the entire temperature range is estimated to be 0.03%. Values at 25 °C for 0.01 and 0.1 m are 0.00140823 and 0.0128246 S/cm, respectively. It is proposed that these values be adopted as primary standards for aqueous electrolytic conductivity, replacing the demal scale.

Expanded uncertainties, 2u c , were also calculated in accordance with the presently accepted protocol for the treatment of uncertainty. The new conductivity values are recommended as primary standards of electrolytic conductivity based on molality. They replace the previous values, based on the nonstandard demal scale, which were determined only at 0, 18, and 25°C. The accuracy of the technique used was evaluated by repeating the determination of the previously recommended demal-based IUPAC standards of electrolytic conductivity and through comparison with other absolute measurements.
