You have probably heard or seen the term pH value at least once before. You may also remember experiments in school where litmus paper was used to test whether a solution was acidic or alkaline.
The determination of the pH value is important to determine an important characteristic of a solution. Thus, pH is just a unit that represents a characteristic of a solution, just as the meter is a unit of length. Thus, pH, which is commonly used for water measurements, is a measure of acidity and alkalinity, or the alkalis and bases present in a particular solution.
So what kind of characteristic is represented by pH? The pH indicates how acidic or alkaline a solution is, such as your lemon juice or soap suds, and is generally expressed on a numerical scale of 0-14. Pure, neutral water has a pH of 7. Any solution with a pH below 7 is acidic, and if the pH is above 7, it is alkaline. The numbers on the scale increase with increasing alkalinity, while the numbers on the scale decrease with increasing acidity.

HORIBA LAQUAtwin pH Meter
This portable device accurately measures pH values (0.01 resolution) and ORP/redox potentials and, thanks to its IP67 protection, is also reliable for outdoor use. With automatic three-point pH calibration, flexible ORP calibration, temperature compensation and mV diagnostic function, it is extremely versatile. The large 3-colour display clearly shows measured values, calibration buffers, stability and temperature. Practical extras such as auto power-off and self-diagnostic messages make it particularly safe and user-friendly. IP protection class: IP67With replaceable probeManufacturer item number: 50014133
Dear customers, our handy pocket tester analysis case protects your handheld tester safely and also offers you space for the required calibration and buffer solutions. The pH buffer and storage solution matching the tester in the 25 ml sachet and the 70ml 475mV redox solution finds place in the foam blank. Your analysis case consists of the following components: 1x pocket tester 1x pH 4.01 buffer solution (25ml bag or 70ml bottle) 1x storage solution (25ml bag or 70ml bottle) 1x 475mV ORP solution in a 70ml bottle 2x batteries 1x lanyard for the pocket tester 1x pack of tissues You can also purchase the case separately to safely store your existing testers and always have the appropriate calibration and buffer solutions on site in the case. IP protection class: IP67
This compact measuring device combines pH and ORP/redox measurement in a robust, waterproof housing (IP67). With a resolution of 0.01 pH and mV, it offers maximum precision. The built-in microprocessor and replaceable combination electrode ensure reliable and long-lasting use. The three-colour LCD display clearly shows all important information: calibration buffers used, measurement stability, temperature and mV values. pH calibration is performed automatically at three points with five selectable US buffer values, while ORP calibration can be flexibly performed at a point specified by the user. In addition, the mV display can be used for both electrode diagnosis and redox measurement. For convenient operation, a temperature display, automatic temperature compensation (0–60 °C), an automatic switch-off function and clear self-diagnostic messages for low battery status or calibration errors are integrated. This makes the device ideal for precise laboratory and field applications. IP protection class: IP67 With interchangeable probeManufacturer item number: 50014173
