New instrument accurately measures pH/ORP

July 2007 Analytical Instrumentation & Environmental Monitoring

The accurate measurement of pH/ORP (oxidation reduction potential) is critical in industries ranging from chemical processing, pulp and paper, food and beverage, biotechnology and pharmaceutical. Additionally, each application within these industries has unique physical requirements of chemical, temperature, pressure resistance and possibly hygienic design. Mettler Toledo Ingold's new M300 pH/ORP transmitter provides both pH and temperature output in a cost effective package.

The transmitter is designed for pH/ORP, oxygen and conductivity measurements. The instrument's robust construction, versatility and solid measurement performance, makes it well-suited for light industrial applications.

The M300 pH transmitter is available as a single or dual channel version. The dual input channel version can be user-configured for pH, oxygen or conductivity measurements. For automatic sensor cleaning the transmitter communicates with the EasyClean system. The transmitters are designed for simple operation with a large backlit display, easy accessible wiring terminals, plain text interface and quick setup menu.

The integral USB port supports remote configuration, data-logging and software upgrade. Additional modules for PID control with pulse length, pulse frequency or analogue control, as well as multilevel password protection against accidental parameter changes, complete the M300 concept.

Keeping an eye on invisible radiation
Omniflex Remote Monitoring Specialists Analytical Instrumentation & Environmental Monitoring
At its peak in 1994, the energy generation capacity of the UK’s nuclear power stations was 12,7 GW across 16 plants. In 2024, the capacity has fallen to around 5 GW, and the number of stations is down to nine. However, this is far from the end of the story as spent nuclear fuel remains radioactive for centuries, and requires rigorous safety processes to safeguard against leaks.
