PH meter are a very important measurement tool and seeks
applications in a lot of different processes, like you can use it in your
hydroponic system. However before you can balance your system you will need to
calibrate it. Calibration of pH meter
is very important else you will not get the correct reading. Therefore, you
need to calibrate your pH meter almost every week. In the case of the meter not
being calibrated, no matter for what work you are using your meter, it will
surely go wrong. Such as in the case of a hydroponic system, an uncalibrated
meter is sure to not only damage your plants but in extreme cases even kill
them.
Therefore you need to know the
basics of kalibrasi pH metercalibration. For the starters you will need calibration solutions which would
be two in number. Basically a digital meter that requires just a single
solution for calibration is generally not a very good meter. Therefore when you
use two calibration solutions then the pH of them should be 7 and 4
respectively. Now the next thing that is required by you would be three big
sized glasses or even three plastic containers would also work for you. These
containers should be big enough that you can immerse your pH probe.
Out of three, one container is
used for holding water so that you can rinse your pH probe for calibration. You
will keep the pH 7 solution in the second container and the pH 4 solution in
the third. Also you should check your meter for cracks salt, algae, or other
impurities. If you find any impurity as such you can use a cotton swab to clean
the probe. Once this whole setup is complete you can easily carry out the calibration process. This is a very
important measurement tool but
without calibration you cannot get the correct reading therefore you need to do
the calibration perfectly.
