pH meters

A pH meter is a scientific instrument used to measure the acidity or alkalinity of a liquid. It works by using a special electrode that senses hydrogen ion activity in the solution. When the electrode is immersed, it produces an electrical signal proportional to the solution’s pH level, which the meter then displays. pH meters provide quick, accurate readings, essential in fields like chemistry, agriculture, medicine, and environmental monitoring to ensure proper conditions or quality control. Proper calibration and maintenance are crucial for reliable results.
