NOTES:TDS - Unnutralized TDS readings are affected by pH. Use the pH Correction table below to correct TDS to sample pH.
The Higher number in the TDS column represents the maximum limits for safe boiler operation at the indicated operating pressure.Depending on publication some authorities allow for upto 4000 TDS in Water Tube boilers operating from 0-150 psig.
ASME for Saturated Steam Boilers allows for upto 5595 TDS (8000 Conductivity) up to 300 PSI and 4545 TDS (6500 Conductivity) above 300 but at or below 600 PSIGTDS Error due to High pH
If Nutralizing Agents are not available then Subtract the 'Error' number from the TDS reading to arrive at 'Neutralized TDS' number.

* NOTE a pH of 9.0 is considered LOW. Normal Operating pH is recommended to be at 11.56.
