TOTAL DISSOLVED SOLIDS MEASUREMENT

Total Dissolved Solids

Definition: Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) is a
measure of the sum of all inorganic and organic
substances in a liquid in molecular, ionized or
micro-granular colloidal suspended form. The
solids must be small enough to survive filtration
through a sieve the size of two micrometer.
TDS solids are normally found in all freshwater
systems. Major applications of TDS are: at low
levels the study of water quality for streams, rivers,
lakes, potable water taste, and at high levels the
control of scale in recirculating water systems. It is
a quality indicator for drinking water and is a
general measure of the presence of chemicals. In
seawater RO desalination, TDS provides a way of
comparing the feed with the permeate quality that

Where does TDS come from?

TDS in Water Systems
TDS in surface waters come from the solvent

earth, agricultural and residential runoff, leaching water supply from municipal, lake, river, or well

industrial or sewage treatment plants. Common recirculating water concentrates TDS solids. High
chemical constituents are calcium, sodium, TDS levels generally indicate hard water, water

Typical neutralized TDS Conversion Factors:
TDS as NaCl: 0.70 to 0.75
TDS as KCl: 0.74 to 0.84
Water treatment chemicals and dispersant can cause
significant variations specific to each plant. In the
more concentrated boiler water the solids content
factor typically is found between 0.55 and 0.9 ppm
TDS per µS/cm. The water treatment company
should be consulted and periodic gravimetric TDS
tests done to confirm the solids content factor is
stable.

What is the difference between ppm

and mg/L?
Parts per million TDS or ppm (abbreviated) is an
expression of quantity, mg/L (milligrams per liter)
is an expression of weight. Both are used as scales
for TDS, but ppm is more popular. There is no
conversion factor since 1 ppm = 1 mg/L.
