## If the PWT ignores oxides and there are a lot of oxides [or metallic silver micro particles] then the PWT reading equating uS to PPM will not be at unity. Hence, the fudge factors. At 3 uS, it's almost certain that the CS is 99+% ionic and the PWT will be very close to unity. At 27 uS, it's unlikely that the CS is more than 90% ionic and could be less than 80% ionic. In some cases the PWT can read 13 uS and the suspension can exceed 60% [even 80%?] non ionic silver content as an extremely heavy TE or display a lot of crud in the bottom or both.
Using Faradays equation should tell how much silver was liberated but won't say what happened to it. "IF" nothing has settled or plated out, it should still be in the water in whatever form and should be accurate but any visible fallout/plate out at all will amount to a highly significant percentage of the total that won't be contributing to the PPM in the water. Darn it. It just ain't easy. Ode > Trem, Frank, and Ivan have shown the conversion factor between uS > and ppm is unity over a wide range from 3.9 uS to 27 uS.
