The fudge factor for compensating for the nonconductivity of metallic suspended particles operates on a variable sliding scale...plus... some contaminants can kick you into particle production mode without making many ions.
The 1.2 x fudge factor is for 20-24 PPM CS made a certain way and may or may not not apply to any other way. I've made CS that read 78 uS with a VERY heavy TE indicating it 'could be' well over 150 PPM. [grey..as in very dense but no color... and stratified in storage..as in "sorta" settled some] I've made silver flakes and the conductivity never exceeded 13 uS while somewhere around 1 whole gram of silver vanished off the electrode in a 32 oz jar.
