The pH value is a unit of measurement which provides information about the quality of water. The pH value shows how many hydrogen ions can be absorbed by the water. The pH scale goes from 0 to 14 with the normal value being at 7. PH values below 7 are called acidic, while values above 7 are called basic or alkaline. Since the pH value can change at any time, it is important to check it frequently because acidic or basic water can be a problem. Acidic water can corrode and destroy pumps, gaskets or even surfaces. Basic water on the other hand can lead to hard water and clogged filters due to calcium carbonate fouling. In addition basic water can affect the effectiveness of disinfectants.

The pH meters of the PCE Instruments were specially developed for the use in laboratories, aquariums and the industry. Depending on the specific application area, there are different devices available, such as pocket-sized (like the PCE-PH 22 pH meter) or table top pH meters. The pH meters determine the pH value of a solution through an electrochemical procedure instead of a pH indicator. Even the famous explorer and wildlife photographer Chris Lukhaup used a PCE measuring instrument on his numerous expeditions and was able to fulfil multiple measurements in the field of sweet water fishkeeping.
The PCE-PHD 1 is an all-round device when it comes to the monitoring of the water quality. The portable water analyser can determine parameters like the pH value, redox, electrical conductivity, salinity, oxygen concentration and the temperature of water.
For almost every measuring setup, there are suitable devices of the PCE Deutschland GmbH. Those devices offer an excellent value for money and can also be recalibrated.

PCE Instruments is specialized on the corporate sales of high-performance and innovative products from the sectors of measurement-, control-, weighing-, and laboratory technology. The portfolio covers a broad, diversified range of products in these areas, not least with their very own product line-up PCE-series.
PCE Instruments is characterized by wide-reaching services. That enables PCE Instruments to be a professional partner for industry, trade and research. Founded in 1999 as a small engineering office in Germany, the company has now broadly expanded. Locations in Spain, Italy, England and Chile have been established. Due to investments in new offices-, manufacturing and storage areas, the operating area with new sectors of research and development and marketing have been expanded. From the small jewellery scale to a crane scale, from a small range finder to the infrared camera, from the calibrated anemometer up to the professional weather station; the online shop has everything. Our Technical staff will gladly help and offer free advice to customers. In the year of 2012, all locations were unified under the name of PCE HOLDING in order to be well prepared for future growth.
