Atherstone is a small industrial and market town and civil parish in the English county of Warwickshire. Located in the far north of the county, Atherstone forms part of the border with Leicestershire along the A5 national route, is only 4 miles from Staffordshire, it lies between the larger towns of Tamworth and Nuneaton and contains the administrative offices of North Warwickshire Borough Council. At the 2011 census the population of the civil parish of Atherstone was 8,670; the population of the larger urban area which includes the adjoining village of Mancetter was 10,573. Atherstone has a long history dating back to Roman times. An important defended Roman settlement named Manduessedum existed at Mancetter near the site of modern-day Atherstone, the Roman road, the Watling Street ran through the town, it is believed by some historians that the rebel Queen of the Britons, Boudica was defeated at the Battle of Watling Street by the Romans in her final battle near Manduessedum. The Domesday Book of 1086, records.

The ancient St. Mary's Chapel in Atherstone dates from the early 12th century when the monks of Bec made a donation of 12 acres to a house of friars and hermits referred to as "Austin friars". During the reign of Edward IV the Crown granted lands in Atherstone to the Carthusian order situate at Mount Grace Priory, Yorkshire. According to Nichols, the chapel was granted to Henry Cartwright in 1542 left abandoned and neglected until 1692 when Samuel Bracebridge settled a yearly sum for the parson of Mancetter to preach there every other Sunday in the winter seasonAfter this, St. Mary's Chapel seems to have experienced something of a revival, its square tower being rebuilt in the fashionable "Gothic" style in 1782. This drastic alteration aroused some controversy. Although the fine architectural drawing of the chapel made by Mr. Schnebbelie in 1790 prompted Nichols to assert that "the new tower provides a good effect". St Mary's was further redesigned in 1849 by Thomas Henry David Brandon, it is said that the Battle of Bosworth took place in the fields of Merevale above Atherstone.

Reparation was made to Atherstone after the battle and not to Market Bosworth. Local legend is. In Tudor times, Atherstone was a thriving commercial centre for clothmaking; the town's favourable location laid out as a long ‘ribbon development’ along Watling Street, ensured its growth as a market town. While it remained an agricultural settlement in medieval times, attempts were made to encourage merchants and traders through the creation of burgage plots, a type of land tenure that provided them with special privileges. A manuscript discovered by Marjorie Morgan among the muniments of Cambridge's King's College, refers to the creation of nine new burgage strips from land belonging to seven of the tenants in Atherstone vill. By the late Tudor period Atherstone had become a centre for leatherworking, clothmaking and brewing. Local sheep farmers and cattle graziers supplied wool and leather to local tanners and shoemakers, while metalworkers and nailers fired their furnaces with local coal and the alemakers supplied thirsty palates on market days.

The surviving inventories from 16th century Mancetter provide a fascinating glimpse into Atherstone's Elizabethan merchants and traders, before the town was economically overshadowed by the bustling cities of Coventry and Birmingham. They show Atherstone at this time as a typical Midlands market town, taking full advantage of its location and agricultural setting. Atherstone was once an important hatting town, became well known for its felt hats; the industry began in the 17th century and at its height there were seven firms employing 3,000 people. Due to cheap imports and a decline in the wearing of hats, the trade had died out by the 1970s with just three companies remaining, Denham & Hargrave Ltd, Vero & Everitt Ltd and Wilson & Stafford Ltd; the production of felt hats in the town ceased altogether with the closure of the Wilson & Stafford factory in 1999. As of 2018 the factory has received the go-ahead to be redeveloped into canalside residential apartments. Atherstone is part of the parliamentary constituency of North Warwickshire, with the current MP for the area being Conservative's Craig Tracey.

Other nearby villages include Sheepy Magna, Ratcliffe Culey, Fenny Drayton, Dordon, Baddesley Ensor and Hartshill, its co-ordinates are 52°35′00″N 01°31′00″W 1. In part due to its central location in the UK, Atherstone's economy has expanded since the 1980s, with several major companies such as 3M TNT, Aldi setting up their head office operations and/or national distribution centres in the town; the British Home Stores warehouse which had operated in the town for 40 years, closed in August 2016, Now used by Royal Mail Sorting Office.

A salinometer is a device designed to measure the salinity, or dissolved salt content, of a solution. Since the salinity affects both the electrical conductivity and the specific gravity of a solution, a salinometer consist of an ec meter or hydrometer and some means of converting those readings to a salinity reading. A salinometer may be calibrated in either micromhos, a unit of electrical conductivity, or else directly calibrated for salt in'grains per gallon'. A typical reading on-board ship would be 0.05 grains per gallon. A reading of twice this may trigger alarm. Fresh water generators use salinometers on the distillate discharge in order to gauge the quality of the water. Water from the evaporator can be destined for potable water supplies, so salty water is not desirable for human consumption. In some ships high quality distillate is required for use in water-tube boilers, where salt water would be disastrous. In these ships, a salinometer is installed on the feed system where it would alert the engineer to any salt contamination.

The salinometer may switch the evaporator's output from fresh-water to feed-water tanks automatically, depending on the water quality. The higher quality is required for the boiler feedwater, not for drinking. TDS meter - used for checking of Total Dissolved solids of a liquid. Saline - A saline solution being isotonic with that of human blood is 0.9% w/v, c. 300 mOsm/L Saline refractometer History of the development of salinometers Modern oceanographic salinometers
