Working Principle of pH Conductivity Meter

Electrode Structure

pH conductivity meters are usually equipped with two electrodes: a glass electrode and a reference electrode. The glass electrode is sensitive to hydrogen ions (H⁺), while the reference electrode provides a stable potential.

Potential Difference Measurement

When the glass electrode is immersed in a solution, the hydrogen ions in the solution exchange with the ions on the surface of the glass electrode, resulting in a potential difference on the electrode surface. This potential difference is proportional to the pH value of the solution.

Signal Conversion

The circuit inside the instrument converts the potential difference into a digital signal and converts it to the corresponding pH value through the calibration curve and displays it on the screen.

How to Use a pH Conductivity Meter?

When using a pH tester, the correct operating steps are very important to ensure the accuracy of the measurement results and the long-term use of the instrument. The following are the basic operating steps for using a pH tester:

1. Preparation

Inspect the instrument:
Make sure the battery of the pH tester is sufficient and the display is normal.
Check whether the electrode is intact and avoid cracks or damage.
Calibrate the instrument:
Use standard pH buffers (such as pH 4.00, 7.00 and 10.00) for calibration. According to the instrument manual, select the appropriate buffer for calibration.
Immerse the electrode in the standard buffer, wait for it to stabilize, record the reading, and adjust the instrument to the standard value.

2. Measurement steps

Prepare the sample:
Make sure that the liquid sample to be tested is fully mixed to avoid precipitates affecting the measurement results.
If the sample is solid, it needs to be dissolved in an appropriate solvent.
Cleaning the electrode:
Before measuring, clean the electrode with deionized or distilled water to remove possible contaminants.
Gently wipe the electrode with a clean paper towel to avoid residual moisture.
Measure the pH value:
Insert the electrode vertically into the liquid to be tested, making sure that the sensing part of the electrode is completely immersed in the liquid.
Gently shake the electrode to help bubbles escape and ensure that the electrode is in full contact with the liquid.
Wait a few seconds until the reading stabilizes and record the pH value.
Repeated measurements:
If multiple measurements are required, it is recommended to clean the electrode again before each measurement and use deionized water to clean the electrode between different samples.

3. Post-measurement processing

Cleaning the electrode:
After the measurement is completed, clean the electrode with deionized or distilled water to avoid damage to the electrode caused by sample residue.
Storing the electrode:
According to the instrument manual, store the electrode appropriately. Some electrodes need to be immersed in a specific storage solution to maintain their performance.
Recording data:
Record the measurement results and mark the sample information for subsequent analysis.

Frequently asked questions about the ph conductivity meter

How do I calibrate a pH conductivity meter?

Calibration usually requires the use of standard buffers: pH calibration: Calibrate using standard buffers of pH 4.00, 7.00, and 10.00. Immerse the electrode in the buffer and wait for the reading to stabilize before calibrating. Conductivity calibration: Calibrate using a standard solution of known conductivity to ensure that the instrument's readings are accurate.
Check the electrode: Make sure the electrode is not damaged or contaminated, and replace the electrode if necessary. Clean the electrode: Clean the electrode with deionized water to remove possible contaminants. Temperature influence: Make sure the temperature of the sample is within the working range of the instrument. Temperature changes will affect the measurement results.

Precautions for Operating pH Conductivity Meters

Precautions for operating pH conductivity meters
Wear protective gear:
Wear gloves and goggles to ensure safety when handling chemicals.
Handling chemicals:
Avoid direct contact of the pH electrode with strong acids or bases to avoid damaging the electrode.
Follow operating procedures: Strictly follow the instructions in the operating manual to ensure safety and accuracy.
Avoid extreme conditions: Avoid using the pH tester in extreme temperatures or high concentrations of chemicals.
Calibrate regularly: Calibrate the instrument regularly, especially after frequent use or long periods of non-use.
Follow the instructions: Always follow the instructions for use of the pH tester to ensure correct operation.
