pH/ORP Meters

If the meter is a dual-channel meter, pH ORP meters can measure both pH and ORP simultaneously. This feature is particularly useful in applications where both parameters need to be monitored in real-time. Simultaneous measurement can also reduce the time and effort required to take separate readings.

METTLER TOLEDO is a world-leading manufacturer of pH ORP meters that are capable of measuring multiple parameters simultaneously, such as pH, ORP, conductivity, and dissolved oxygen. To learn more about different dual-channel meters, visit our pH meter page.

ORP meter refers to the electrode used to measure oxidation-reduction potential. ORP is an important parameter to measure in many chemical and biological processes, indicating the potential for chemical reactions to occur. ORP is typically measured to determine the oxidizing or reducing potential of a sample.

ORP meters are generally very accurate instruments with accuracy values ranging from ± 0.1 mV, but the overall accuracy can vary depending on the sample composition, quality, and condition of the electrode. A worn or dirty electrode can affect the accuracy of the ORP reading.

Proper calibration, maintenance, and electrode use are essential to ensure accurate readings. Regular electrode replacement is also necessary to maintain accuracy.

pH and ORP are related in that they both provide information about the chemical properties of a solution. pH measures the concentration of hydrogen ions in a solution, while ORP measures the oxidation-reduction potential.

The pH of a solution affects the oxidation and reduction potential. However, the relationship between pH and ORP is complex and depends on many factors, including the specific solution being measured and the presence of other chemicals or compounds.

pH and ORP electrodes are specialized sensors used in pH meters to measure the pH and ORP of a solution, respectively. The pH electrode is usually made of glass and has a reference electrode and a measuring electrode. The ORP electrode is made of a noble metal, often platinum, and measures the difference in potential between the electrode and the solution being tested.

Regular calibration is essential to ensure accurate readings and prolong the life of the electrode.

In general, it is recommended to calibrate a pH ORP meter at least once a month. However, the frequency of calibration for a pH ORP meter depends on its use and the quality of the electrode. The more frequently it is used, the more it should be calibrated.

The best way to store a pH ORP meter to prolong its lifespan is to keep it in a dry, cool place and avoid exposure to direct sunlight or extreme temperatures. The electrode should be stored in a protective case to prevent damage. It should also be properly cleaned and dried before storage to prevent contamination and corrosion.
