pH value is an important indicator for measuring the pH of a solution and is crucial to many industries such as chemical industry, environmental protection, food, medicine, etc. As a commonly used pH measuring instrument, the standard pH meter has the characteristics of high precision and reliability, and is widely used in various fields. This article will delve into the principle, structure, application and importance of standard pH meters in various industries.
Principle introduction
The working principle of a standard pH meter is based on the potential difference between a glass electrode and a reference electrode. When the glass electrode contacts the solution, the hydrogen ions in the solution react with the surface of the glass electrode, creating a potential difference. The reference electrode provides a stable electrical potential for calibration and comparison. By measuring the potential difference between the glass electrode and the reference electrode, the pH of the solution can be calculated. This principle enables the standard pH meter to accurately and quickly measure the pH of a solution, providing an important basis for quality control and production in various industries.
The main structure of a standard pH meter includes glass electrodes, reference electrodes, temperature compensation electrodes, circuit boards, display screens and other components. Among them, the glass electrode is the core component, responsible for measuring the pH of the solution; the reference electrode provides a stable reference potential; the temperature compensation electrode is used to compensate for the impact of solution temperature on the measurement results; the circuit board is responsible for signal processing and data display. Standard pH meters usually have the characteristics of simple structure, convenient operation, high accuracy, and good stability, and can meet various working environments and application needs.
