Description
this instrument measures acidity/alkalinity of a solution. The degree of hydrogen ion activity is ultimately expressed as pH level, which generally ranges from 1 to 14.
application of ph meter
i. A pH meter is essential for assessing soil in the agricultural sector. A pH meter is required because major crops need an alkaline climate. Additionally, they are utilized to gauge the pH of the soil, which will aid in maximizing returns and yields from the soil.
ii. Monitoring pH level is essential in water treatment facilities and RO water purifiers.
iii. Chemical industries use pH meters to neutralize wastewater from the steel, pulp, paper, pharmaceutical, biotech, and petrochemical industries.
iv. A pH meter determines the pH value of chemical compounds and food products to ensure their quality and safety.
v. The food industry specifically uses pH meters in the context of dairy products.
vi. To determine the type of biological conditions by measuring the pH of biological fluids such as blood, urine, gastric acid, etc.
vii. Employed in detergent manufacturing.
