pH Meter Relative Merits Report Joseph Pecsenyicki SAIT Comm 238 Marcel Carpenter November 26, 2013
A typical pH meter: The HI 2211 by Hanna Instruments (Source: HI 2211 Instruction Manual, p. 5)
pH meter lifetime: 5 years • Model currently in use – discontinued • Require 10 for a volume discount • Compare 3 models for: • Accuracy • Complexity • Computer interface
Accuracy: Least Most Intermediate ±0.02 pH • But Lime Softener pH ≈ 10.0-10.2 • pH 20 more than adequate
Complexity: Least Most Intermediate 8 ½ page manual • pH 20 simplest
Computer interface: No Yes Yes • Reduces operator transcription errors • But facility does not have LIMS • pH 20 adequate...at this moment!
Conditional Recommendation LIMS No LIMS pH 20 best Adequate pH accuracy Simplest Lacks computer interface HI 2215 best • Good pH accuracy • Moderate complexity • Computer interface
pH 20 by Hanna Instruments (Source: pH 20 Instruction Manual, p. 5)
