DrDAQ pH Measuring Kit
The DrDAQ pH Measuring Kit helps you to make accurate and continuous pH measurements.
- Measures the full pH scale
- Automatic Temperature Compensation
- No power supply required
- Suitable for use both in the lab and in the field
The pH Measuring Kit comprises all the hardware and software required for you to accurately monitor, record and analyse the acidity or alkalinity of a solution using a PC.
The pH Logger
The focal point of the kit is the pH logger which allows accurate pH measurements to be continuously measured and stored. The logger connects to the PC via the parallel port and does not require an external power supply — making the pH Measuring Kit suitable for use both in the lab and in the field.
The pH logger uses PicoLog data acquisition software — a powerful yet flexible package that enables you to control both the frequency and quantity of measurements that are taken.
PicoLog allows the collected pH measurements to be viewed both during and after data collection, and in both spreadsheet and graphical formats. The data can then be printed, emailed or exported to other applications such as Excel.
PicoLog includes many other features — including the ability to set an alarm that will warn you if a pH value goes beyond a designated range — enabling the pH Measuring Kit to offer greater flexibility and performance than a standard pH meter.
Along with the pH logger the kit also includes a robust pH sensor that measures the full pH scale (0 to 14) together with a temperature sensor that measures temperatures from -10 to 105 °C.
Existing owners of the DrDAQ data logger can upgrade to a pH Measuring Kit by purchasing a pH sensor, temperature sensor, and downloading a copy of PicoLog version R5.11.08 or above.
Automatic Temperature Compensation
Since pH values are temperature dependent, the pH Measuring Kit features Automatic Temperature Compensation (ATC). Using this practical solution the pH logger receives a continuous signal from a temperature sensor and automatically corrects the pH value based on the temperature of the solution.
An Inexpensive Answer to Your Data Acquisition Needs
By connecting suitable sensors the pH kit can also be used to measure other parameters such as temperature, light and sound — greatly expanding the capabilities of the kit.
The pH Measuring Kit is suitable for use in many industries and the educational sector, and provides accurate pH measurements and versatile pH data logging capabilities in an easy-to-use package.
