Abstract In the present work, the conductivity of Standard Sea Water was studied over the temperature range 12–40°C using high-precision conductance techniques. One of the purposes of this investigation was to extend the temperature range of the equation that describes the conductivities tabulated by Cox. The conductivities reported in this work differ from the Cox equation by no more than 0.1% in the range of temperature overlap (to 30°C). The combined data base leads to the expression $$\begin{gathered} \kappa \left( {mmho - cm^{ - 1} } \right) = 29.05128 + 0.88082t - 1.98312 \times 10^{ - 4} t^2 + 3.33663 \hfill \\ \times 10^{ - 4} t^3 - 1.0776 \times 10^{ - 5} t^4 + 1.12518 \times 10^{ - 7} t^5 \hfill \\ \end{gathered} $$ for the electrical conductance of Copenhagen Standard Sea Water, with an overall uncertainty estimate (absolute accuracy) of ±0.1% for the temperature range of 0–40°C.
