GB/T 27501 Preparation method of buffer solution for pH value determination HJ 91.1 Technical Specification for Wastewater Monitoring HJ/T 91 Technical specification for surface water and sewage monitoring HJ/T 164 Technical Specification for Groundwater Environmental Monitoring
3 Principles of the method
The pH value is obtained by measuring the electromotive force of the battery. The battery usually consists of a reference electrode and a hydrogen ion indicator electrode. Solution for every change of 1 pH unit, the change of the potential difference at the same temperature is constant, so the pH value is directly read on the instrument.

4.2 In a strong acid solution with a pH value of less than 1, an acid error will occur; in a strong alkaline solution with a pH value greater than 10, Will produce sodium difference. It can be measured with an acid and alkali-resistant pH electrode, or you can choose a standard buffer that is similar to the pH value of the measured solution the solution calibrates the instrument to counteract interference.
4.3 When measuring samples with low electrolyte, a pH electrode suitable for low ionic strength should be used;
For samples with a temperature greater than 5 per mille), a pH electrode suitable for high ionic strength should be used for measurement.
4.4 When measuring acidic samples with high concentration of fluorine, use a hydrofluoric acid-resistant pH electrode for measurement.
