Product Description

The Hanna Instruments HI 98103B is a hand-held pH meter with manual two-point calibration, a replaceable electrode, and an LCD screen. The meter provides readings from 0.00 to 14.00 pH (+ or - 0.2), with a resolution of 0.01 pH. It is designed for beer and beverage making, but can be used for other applications; it is an alternative to litmus paper.

The HI 98103B operates from 0 to 50 degrees C (32 to 122 degrees F) with maximum relative humidity (RH) of 95%. The HI 1270 electrode is replaceable to prolong the life of the meter. Two 1.5V batteries are included, and provide approximately 3,000 hours of continuous use. The meter measures 66 x 50 x 25 mm/2.6 x 2.0 x 1.0 inches (H x W x D) and weighs 50 g (1.8 oz.). (H is the vertical distance from lowest to highest point; W is the horizontal distance from left to right; D is the horizontal distance from front to back.) Buffer solutions (4.01, 7.01, and 10.01 pH), storage solution (HI 70300M), and replacement electrode (HI 1270) are sold separately.

pH testers measure the acidity or alkalinity of a substance, and are commonly used by researchers, manufacturers, and hobbyists.

Hanna Instruments manufactures analytical instrumentation and supplies, including pH meters, electrodes, chemical reagents, and buffer solutions. The company, founded in 1978 and headquartered in Woonsocket, RI, meets International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 9001 standards.

4.0 out of 5 stars Solid value, July 28, 2008

By 

Jack Zilch (Williamsport, MD) - See all my reviews

The meter arrived just slightly off calibration but was easily corrected with the help of 4.01 and 7.01 solutions (which need to be purchased seperately). It doesn't adjust for temperature but I really don't need to be that exact. It is a good value and easy to use.

This PH tester works great! It seems to be very accurate and dependable. Don't forget to order the 4.01 and 7.01 Calibration Solution to calibrate it with, which you have to do before you can use it.

I can a lot of food. It is important to know if the PH is low enough for to ensure longer shelf life. This ph meter works well...and was easy to adjust to the 4.0 and 7.01 samples. I am very pleased.
