Hanna Instruments Portable pH Meter for Drinking Water HI99192
The Hanna Instruments Portable pH Meter for Drinking Water is a reliable and fully featured meter specifically designed to analyze and monitor the pH of drinking water. Accurate pH measurement is essential to prevent corrosion in water pipes, optimize taste and odor and ensure the effectiveness of disinfection processes. Compared to similarly designed devices such as the [Hanna Instruments Portable pH Meter HI99191], this portable solution impresses with innovative features that enable particularly convenient handling and high measurement accuracy.
Thanks to its robust IP67 housing and intuitive operation with just two buttons, the device can be used safely even in demanding environments. The application-oriented amplifier electrode with Quick DIN connection not only simplifies replacement, but also creates a watertight connection between the cable and the measuring device. The fast response makes this instrument an ideal choice for professionals who want to analyze drinking water samples on a regular basis. Similar field-proven concepts can also be found in the [Hanna Instruments Edge pH Meter], but this portable pH meter offers even more flexibility for mobile use thanks to its compact design.
Powerful technology for drinking water monitoring
The meter combines pH, mV and temperature measurement in a compact, portable design. All relevant measured values can be read simultaneously on the large multi-level LCD. A special feature is the FC2153 pH electrode with triple ceramic diaphragm and refillable inner electrolyte, which enables consistently precise results. The automatic temperature compensation minimizes measurement deviations even under changing operating conditions. This makes the device just as suitable for routine analyses as it is for input and output checks in the drinking water sector.
Important features at a glance:
- pH measuring range from -2.0 to 16.0 (selectable in 0.1 or 0.01 resolution)
- Automatic one- or two-point calibration with standard buffers
- Robust IP67 housing protected against dust and moisture
- Fast Quick-Connect DIN connection for secure electrode connection
- Battery supply with 1.5 V AAA for up to 1400 hours of continuous use
- Multifunctional display with battery status, electrode status and automatic switch-off
- Adjustable automatic switch-off (8, 60 minutes or deactivated)
In addition to these core functions, the device scores points with an integrated electrode status indicator. This immediately shows whether the built-in probe is working reliably or should be replaced. This saves resources and enables constant monitoring of the measurement quality.
Concrete application possibilities
- Tap water testing in municipal facilities: In waterworks as well as in large building complexes, the quality of the drinking water in the supply pipes can be checked and adjusted to an optimum pH value using the measuring device.
- Regular random sample measurements in laboratories: This pH meter is also useful in test laboratories for quickly determining the pH value, for example when using cleaning chemicals or chlorine-based disinfectants.
- Food and beverage production: When bottling table water or other beverages, the pH test ensures consistent quality and taste.
- Process monitoring in the pharmaceutical industry: where drinking water plays a role in production, the device supports compliance with regulatory requirements for water quality.
Frequently asked questions (FAQs)
How often should the device be calibrated
?
Calibration should be carried out regularly, ideally before each measurement series, especially if the highest accuracy is required or the measuring device is used in different temperature ranges.
Is special care of the pH electrode necessary?
Yes, regular cleaning and maintenance of the electrode extends its service life. Refilling the inner electrolyte and using suitable cleaning and storage solutions (e.g. to remove fats or proteins) are recommended.
Can I also use the device in liquids other than drinking water?
Due to its specifications and the robust electrode, the device is suitable for numerous aqueous solutions. Nevertheless, it is always advisable to check the compatibility with the respective medium in order to maximize the service life.
What special feature does the triple ceramic diaphragm offer?
The triple ceramic diaphragm creates a stable electrode-liquid connection to the measurement medium. This increases both the accuracy and speed of pH detection and makes the device particularly precise.
Conclusion
The meter combines high accuracy, ease of use and a durable design, making it a valuable investment for professionals in drinking water analysis. The integrated Quick Connect DIN connection, the automatic calibration functions and the reliable glass pH electrode allow samples to be processed safely and quickly. If you are looking for a robust, flexible measuring device specifically designed for drinking water, this technology is the right choice.
