pH Measurement of Biofuel

The pH value is an important quality criterion for all biofuels. A combined pH glass electrode with ground-joint diaphragm is recommended for measuring the pH in organic solvents. Because of the expected low conductivity of the sample, the electrode should be particularly well shielded in order to suppress electrostatic influences.

The pH meter used for the measurement should possess the following GLP functions, among others:

  • Three-point calibration with automatic buffer recognition
  • Temperature compensation
  • Calibration data monitoring
  • Automatic measured value recording
  • Result memory with identification

pH Measurement by Metrohm

The Solvotrode with separable ground-joint diaphragm is particularly suitable for measuring the pH of biofuels.

The pH meter 827 pH lab for laboratory use and the handy, battery-operated 826 pH mobile offer all the required functions with extremely comfortable operation.
