Redesigned TLC Meter

Solinst (Canada) is pleased to announce the launch of their newly redesigned Model 107 TLC Meter. The TLC Meter features the recently developed Solinst laser-marked PVDF flat tape, allowing the new TLC to be supplied in lengths up to 1000 ft. (300 m).

The new Solinst flat tape is made of extremely durable PVDF with accurate laser markings every 1/100 ft. or each millimeter, certified traceable to National Standards. The tape features increased abrasion resistance, tensile strength, and electrical efficiency with the use of 6 strands of copper coated steel and 13 strands of stainless steel in each conductor. The enhanced dog-bone shape reduces adherence to well casing.

The TLC Meter provides accurate, stable conductivity and corresponding temperature measurements, displayed on a convenient rotating LCD display for easy viewing. The 3/4" (19 mm) diameter probe measures conductivity that has been standardized to 25°C, i.e. Specific Conductance (displayed as EC). Conductivity measurements are read from 0-80,000 µS/cm with readings giving accuracy of 5% of reading or 100 µS (which ever is greater).

Durability, sturdy construction, and the easy-to-use Solinst reel make it ideal and cost-effective for use in the field. A standard 9V alkaline battery, which provides 90 hours operation, is located in an easy-access drawer in the reel, and electronics have an auto-off after 8 minutes. Optional user calibration is simple, with a single, or up to four point calibration option.

The TLC meter is excellent for profiling temperature and conductivity in wells and open water. It is ideal for saltwater intrusion investigations, tracer tests, road salt studies, and a general indication of contamination levels, which can provide early warnings of changes in water quality.
