Water-Resistant pH Meter with Specific Food Industry pH Electrode.
The Hanna HI 99161 pH meter is widely used in the food industry where the pH of raw semisolid material is continuously checked to ensure that quality standards have been properly met. The pH of milk used for cheese manufacturing determines whether the cheese will be soft or hard. Certain pH values must likewise be strictly adhered to in the manufacturing of butter, yogurt and jelly products.
pH also determines the shelf life of foods. For example, by bringing the pH value below 4.5, growth and multiplication of pathogens such as clostridium botulinum are inhibited.
The HI 99161's waterproof and non toxic casing provides excellent protection from water and humidity typically present in the food manufacturing environment. The meter utilizes the Hanna FC 202D pH electrode with built-in temperature sensor which is specially designed for use in food industries. The electrode has a rugged, easy to clean, Kynar® body that tapers to a strong conic tip ideal for measurements in semisolids such as meats and cheeses. It also has a free diffusion sleeve-type reference junction which prevents the typical problems of clogging in viscous liquids or samples with high solids content such as milk or condiments. The electrolyte used in the FC 202D electrode is free from the poisonous silver chloride, preventing food contamination. HI 99161 allows automatic calibration at either NIST or standard buffer sets with auto recognition and a stability indicator.
The temperature is continuously displayed on the secondary level of the large LCD. The meter runs on common 1.5 AA type batteries and the LCD provides a low battery warning signal.
