PH METER CALIBRATION

Calibration of ph meter is essential for accurate ph readings, calibration


adjusts the meter's internal settings to match known buffer solutions.
PRINCIPLE: Accurate pH measurements depend on a properly calibrated
pH meter. Calibration involves adjusting the meter's internal settings to
match the known pH of standard buffer solutions.

PH METER
A pH meter is an electronic device used to measure the The formula to calculate pH is:
acidity or alkalinity of a solution. The pH of a solution is a
measure of the concentration of hydrogen ions (H+) in the pH = -log10(\[H+\])
solution.

where \[H+\] is the concentration of hydrogen ions in moles


per liter (mol/L). The pH meter measures the difference in
electrical potential between a reference electrode and a pH
electrode. The difference in electrical potential is related to
the solution's acidity or pH.
