conÂ·ducÂ·tivÂ·iÂ·ty. n. pl. conÂ·ducÂ·tivÂ·iÂ·ties. 1. The ability or power to conduct or transmit heat, electricity, or sound. 2. The conductance of a material. 3. Physiology The conductibility of a structure, especially the ability of a nerve to transmit a wave of excitation.
Conductivity is a measure of waterâs capability to pass electrical flow. This ability is directly related to the concentration of ions in the water 1. These conductive ions come from dissolved salts and inorganic materials such as alkalis, chlorides, sulfides and carbonate compounds 3.onductance is measured in mhos or siemens 19. Conductivity is the conductance (S) measured across a specified distance (1 cm), which is incorporated into the units (S/cm) 19. As such, the conductance of water will change with the distance specified.
