I have been taking measurements of a circuit consisting of two probes into a closed jar which contains saline solution. The purpose is to compare the measurements of the circuit at different temperatures. When I write up the results (graphs as well), should I be mentioning pressure in the small jar, or can it be discounted as being too small? I need this answer fairly quickly if that's not too much to ask. thank you to affect the results? |

How big is the temperature difference and how well sealed are the jars? |

The contribution to conductivity from pressure in your application is negligible. |

hfshaw-ga Thank you for your interest. The temperatures vary between 10 and 50 and the seal is as complete as possible. |

The contribution of pressure will indeed be negligible in your case, but it is best scientific and engineering practice to state SP (standard pressure -- can?t remember exact figure but basically one atmosphere). Other term often used is ST (standard temperature, but this kind of varies from place to place and time). Usually these two terms are stated as STP when neither pressure or temperature is an operator. Best |

STP is 101.3 kiloPascals. |

Water is not a very compressable fluid (unlike air). Even if there was a fair amount of pressure change on your water solution, this would only have a very, very small affect on the water. So unless you have the jar connected to a pump or something, I would feel free to neglect the pressure variable. |
