PCE Instruments PCE-PH20S pH meter Calibrated to (ISO standards)

Water-proof soil pH-meter easy to use pH-meter for determining the soil - pH-value / external pH-electrode / recalibration / waterproof (IP 67) Information on the soil pH-meter Soil composition and pH-value are of great importance for the healthy growth of plants. The pH-value significantly influences how available nutrients are. The waterproof floor pH-meter from PCE Instruments with external measuring electrode is very suitable for determining the pH-value and thus also the quality of the soil. To determine the pH, the electrode can be easily inserted into the ground. It makes sense to slightly loosen the damp soil before each measurement. As a rule, it is sufficient to insert the electrode into the ground and to read the pH directly on the digital display. The soil pH-meter also enables the pH-value of a solution from a soil sample and distilled water. This is useful for measuring according to DIN or for particularly compressed soil. Whenever the electrode cannot penetrate deep enough into the ground to make a precise measurement, the user should create a solution. The waterproof floor pH meter with special, external measuring electrode serves to measure the pH value exactly. The floor pH-meter from PCE Instruments is characterized particularly by its high accuracy. The pH meter reading range is 0.00 to 14.00 pH. The measured values can be easily read with the large digital display. In order to be able to read the measurement results more conveniently, the display of the bottom pH-meter can be rotated by pressing a button. The practical data-hold function of the soil pH-meter enables a storage of the measured values. To save battery power, the floor pH-meter has an automatic switch-off: When not in use, the measuring device switches off after ten minutes. The ideal ambient temperature for a measurement is between 15 and 35 degrees Celsius. In order to ensure the highest possible accuracy, calibration should be carried out at certain intervals. A re-calibration of the soil pH-meter ensures optimum accuracy and is done automatically via the keyboard with the support of a calibration solution. Special calibration screws are not required. The calibration data is saved even when changing the battery. The manufacturer also recommends cleaning the electrode of the soil pH-meter with distilled water after each measurement. Application areas Soil pH-meter The soil pH-meter is the ideal solution for the precise measurement of the pH-value in the soil or in substrates in surface-close layers. In addition, the soil pH-meter is also particularly suitable for the inspection of fermentation irrigation solutions used in greenhouses and also in agricultural holdings. For deeper layers, it is recommended to mix a soil solution, as the electrode length is not always sufficient to measure in deeper layers. In order to determine the pH value in a soil solution, a soil sample must be taken from the depth at which, for example, the roots of plants or other plants are located. After stones and roots have been removed, the soil can then be dissolved in distilled water, resulting in an easily measured liquid whose pH value is representative of the pH value of the soil. The determination of the pH value is important for agricultural and forestry producers, since an increased pH value in the soil can lead to a reduced nutrient availability, for example. If the pH of the soil is too low, plants will increasingly absorb heavy metals. In order to keep an eye on the quality of the soil at all times, regular inspection with the soil pH-meter is recommended. The floor pH-meter from PCE Instruments combines user-friendliness and reliability with a compact design. Its simple operation, waterproof housing and flexible application possibilities make the pH meter base from PCE Instruments irreplaceable in the evaluation of the ground quality. The pH meter is preferably used in agricultural and gardening, in laboratories and research. It is also suitable for inexperienced users through its easy use. The pH meter floor can be used any time even under difficult conditions thanks to its waterproof and robust casing. Accessories In addition to the ground pH meters are available from PCE Instruments. The manufacturer recommends that you store some electrode types with moisture. The right storage solution is available from PCE Instruments. PH electrodes drift over time, as a result of measuring errors. To ensure high accuracy, the soil pH meter should be regularly calibrated with the calibration solution available from PCE Instruments. The manufacturer also offers the CAL-PCE-PH calibration certificate for pH meters. Calibration certificates are issued specifically for customers, and annual recalibration can also be performed using PCE Instruments. For optimal cleaning of the soil pH-meter, the cleaning solution Pepsin/hydrochloric acid PCE-GCS-500 (500ml) is available. In order to optimally protect the floor pH-meter and the accessories during transport and storage, the manufacturer recommends using the separately available case with hard foam inlay.
