need method to make à solution (KCl solution for exemple) to control(calibarate)the JET A1 fuel( kerozene) conductivity's mesurment apparatus "MAIHAK", the conductivity's range is: 0 to 600 picoSiemens/meter,
I have not standard solution, so i thaught to do as we do for the water conductivity's mesurment apparatus, which we control by KCl solution using convrsion table (KCL concentration, conductivity value), but i dont know if it'is right to use this method's for MAIHAK apparatus,
if yes ...........what is the KCL concentration needed for 0 to 600 PS/M conductivity's range.

The best way is to ask the manufacturer of the conductivity instrument: if they claim they can measure they must be able to calibrate as well. As far as I know there will not be a problem to calibrate down to 1 microS/cm, but for pS/cm ...There will be so many extraneous sources of error!

It's righ..the calibration of the conductivity within the range of pSM/cm is difficult procedure..i asked the manufacturer, They said that only the manufacturer can calibrate it, otherwise i can use the apparatus' manuel ajust the conductivity cell.
