Measuring pH values according to the potentiometric measuring method (pH-sensitive electrode and pH meter) has become an established method over years and is now a highly developed method in laboratories and the industrial sector (inline measurement).

The sensor and the meter form the measuring system and must be suited to the application to ensure reliable pH measurement in laboratories or industrial areas.

A suitable electrode must be carefully selected according to the measured medium as it is directly in contact with it. Depending on the application (laboratory or industry), further parameters such as temperature, pressure, flow velocity of the medium as well as direct environmental conditions like air humidity and temperature and transmission paths between the sensor and the meter play an important part in component selection.
