pH meter A Purposeful Product For Various Applications



We are the people from electronics era. The electronic revolution all over the world has produced several amazing things. We can’t even imagine a life without electronics products. People have become so much addicted to electronic instruments that half their life relies on these products. From human day to day usage such as mobile phones, refrigerators & computers to specific purpose applications like medical equipments & industries electronics plays a vital part, through one way or the other. There are a number of electronics products in human use for long, now.
One of such products, now a day, is pH meter. The pH meter is an electronic device, very small in size that measures the power of Hydronium ions (H+) present in liquids. The measure of this level is also known as level of acidity or alkalinity. This numerical measure of Hydronium ions is called pH value. If this pH value of the liquid is less than 7 it means that the liquid is acidic & while if the same value is more than 7 then the substance is alkaline or basic. The ideal pH value of water is in between 7.6 & 8.4. Electronics, being a branch of physical science, supports human life for better. The product pH Controller can be used in various fields for domestic purposes as well as for industrial applications. Some of the fields wherein pH meter can be specifically useful are listed below:
1          Agriculture 
.            Swimming Pool and Spa                                   
 Science Laboratories
             Eco-Testing Farms
            Water Treatment Plants
            Coffee & Wine Production Setups
            Cooling Towers and Boilers
Apart from the industries mentioned above, pH meter is of specific importance in domestics as well. This is such a utility product that can never be limited in its use because water is a health supplement without which life on earth is unimaginable. The pH meter is designed by including an LCD screen and electrodes. The Integrated Circuits and calculation programs are embedded inside and are attached with the electrodes so that it could count the number of H+ ions.
The calculation formula is already programmed and embedded into the product and therefore gives exact results. This result is displayed on the LCD screen from where we can easily read & record the value. If pH value is lesser than the standard value then we say that water is acidic while if the value is greater than the standards then the water is alkaline in nature. In both the cases, however, water in not usable and we need to apply means to make it usable.
The pH meter should be handled very carefully. Being delicate it is used to measure alkalinity or acidity of such life-conducting factors like water, if there remains any error in measurement of it then it could prove to be fatal. Standard temperature, careful-balanced connection of wires & not using the extreme pH leveled products needs to be practiced with it.
