Tips: Why should the pH meter be recalibrated?
After the calibration is completed, the frequently used pH meter does not need to be calibrated again within 48 hours. In case of any of the following situations, the meter needs to be recalibrated:
- There's a huge difference between solution temperature and calibration temperature.
- The electrode has been exposed in the air for too long, such as more than half an hour.
- Position or slope adjuster is moved by mistake.
- Peracid solution (pH<2) or overbasic solution (pH>12) is measured.
- The electrode is replaced.
- pH value of the measured solution is not in the middle of the calibrated value for two points while it's far from 7pH.
Digital pH/ORP meter is a cheap online pH/ORP controller. The pH/ORP meter can be used in various severe environment. It is used to test and monitor the pH (0~14) / ORP (-1000~1000mV) / temperature (0~100℃/32~212℉) of sewage, corrosive solution, liquid medicine, beer, drinking water, food, etc. The pH controller transmits standard output signal 4-20mA to digital panel meter/VFD/PLC/recorder, or RS485 signal to a computer for remote monitoring and recording.
