Abstract

PURPOSE:To permit easy measurement of the electrical conductivity of urine by providing a urine accumulating pipe, electrode for excitation and coil for detection, etc., to a titled instrument. CONSTITUTION:The urine 2 to be measured is stored in the urine accumulating pipe 1. An error is generated in a measured value if air bubbles exists in the urine 2 and, therefore, an oscillator 4 is operated to pass electric current to the electrode 3 for excitation after the air bubbles in the urine are substantially eliminated. Then, the electric current corresponding to the electrical conductivity of the urine 2 is induced in the coil 5 for detection. The induced current is amplified by an AC amplifier 6 and is observed in a display part 8. The urine 2 after the observation is discarded by opening a cap 7 (position 7'). The electrical conductivity of the urine 2 is thus measured by the output of the coil 5 without bringing the electrode 3 into contact with the urine 2.
