4.3 Calibration Information Table - 3 pH standard buffer solution series pH standard buffer solution series Icons USA series NIST series 4.00 pH 4.01 pH Three-point calibration 7.00 pH 6.86 pH 10.01 pH 9.18 pH 4.3.1 Three-point calibration The instrument can perform 1-3 points calibration. The first point calibration must use 7.00 pH (or 6.86 pH) standard solution, then select other standard solution to perform the second and the third point calibration.
4.4 pH Meter Calibration (with an example of three-point calibration) 4.4.1. First point calibration (a) Press key to enter into the calibration mode, “CAL 1” blinks at the top right of LCD and “7.00 pH” blinks at the bottom right of LCD, indicating using pH 7.00 buffer solution to make the 1 point calibration.
4.5 Sample Test 4.5.1. Rinse pH electrode in distilled water, dry it, and submerge it in test solution. Stir the solution briefly and allow it to stay in the tested solution until icon appears and stays on LCD. Then get the readings of the measurement.

4.5.3 pH Isothermal Measurement Principle According to the pH isothermal measurement principle, the closer the test sample’s temperature is to the calibration solution’s, the higher the accuracy of the measurement. This principle is recommended to follow when conducting tests for the best result. Example: If users were to test samples at 150˚F, we recommend warming up the calibration solutions to the same temperature before performing calibrations in order to get the most accurate readings.
acid in distilled water to 1000mL. For serious passivation, submerge the bulb in 4% HF (hydrofluoric acid) for 3-5 seconds, and wash it in distilled water, then submerge it in the soaking solution for 24 hours to renew it. 4.5.5 Clean contaminated glass bulb and junction (please refer to Table-7) Table-7 Clean contaminated glass bulb and junction Contamination Cleaning Solutions...
Conductivity Measurement: 6.1 Conductivity Electrode Information 6.1.1 Conductivity electrode Model 2301T-S plastic conductivity electrode with constant K=1.0 and built-in temperature sensor, can realize automatic temperature compensation. The electrode housing is POM plastic which is corrosion resistant and impact resistant. When submerge the conductivity electrode in solution, stir the solution briefly to eliminate the air bubbles and improve response time and stability.
6.2.2 Calibration Frequency (a) The meter is calibrated before leaving the factory and can generally be used right out of the box. (b) Normally perform calibration per month. (c) For high accuracy measurements or large temperature deviation from the reference temperature (25°C), perform calibration per week.
6.3 Conductivity Calibration (take 1413μS/cm as an example) 6.3.1. Rinse the electrode in distilled water, dry it, rinse it with a little standard solution and submerge it in the same standard solution. Stir the solution briefly and allow it to stay in the solution until a stable reading is reached.
6.5 Sample test 6.5.1. Rinse conductivity electrode in distilled water, allow it to dry, and submerge it in the sample solution. Stir the solution briefly and allow it to stay in the sample solution until a stable reading is reached and icon appears on LCD, then get the reading value, which is the conductivity value of the solution.
