pH measurement is used in testing water, soil, foods and beverages, and more. It refers to the potential hydrogen-hydroxyl ion content of a solution. pH is measured, usually with a pH meter, on a scale that ranges from 0 to 14, with values below 7 referred to as acidic and values above 7 as basic or alkaline. The scale is logarithmic, meaning that a reading of 6.0 is ten times more alkaline than 5.0.
On-the-go consultants and others working in the field now have a mobile option for measuring pH wherever they sample. The pH Module with pH electrode for iPhone®, iPad®, and iPod® converts any of these devices into an easy-to-use pH meter.
Users simply plug the PH-1 module into their mobile device to measure and record values, date and time, and GPS location. They can take pH and ORP measurements utilizing any electrode with a BNC connector. Easy on-screen prompts indicate how to install the free app, connect an electrode, select temperature compensation, and calibrate. The display shows pH measurement, mV reading, ambient temperature, and ATC temperature. The module provides automatic and manual temperature compensation shown in degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit.
Data can be transferred conveniently by e-mail or through a USB connection. The pH meter calibration may include up to 99 points. The module is sold as a module only or as a module with a pH/ATC electrode.
