pH Tester Calibration Procedure

1. Range of application

This technical document specifies the calibration of pH tester with glass electrodes of (0-14) pH in measuring range and accuracy of at least 0,02 pH

2. Calibrating techniques

- Outside check

- Technical check

- Measurement check

3. Calibrating instruments

3.1 Standard measuring instrument (s)

Technical Calibration Buffer:

- Range of measurement: (0-14) pH

- Measurement Uncertainty: ≤ 0.01 pH

3.2 Other measuring instrument (s)

Heated Digital Water Bath:

- Range of measurement: (+5 ÷ 99) °C

Standard Humidity, Temperature Meter

- Range of measurement: (-20 ÷ 70) °C

- Accuracy:

± 0.2 °C (10 ÷ 40 °C)

± 0.4 °C of the remaining

± 1%RH (10 ÷ 90) %RH

± 2.0 %RH (of the remaining)

Hygro-Thermometer

- Range of measurement: (0 ÷ 50) °C

- Accuracy: ±0.5 °C

- Range of measurement: (10 ÷95) %RH

- Accuracy: ±3%RH

3.3 Auxiliary Instrument(s)

- Distilled water

- Sprayer

- Tissue, glass cup

4. Conditions for Calibration

Temperature: (25 ± 2) °C

Humidity: 80 %RH

The temperature, as well as the humidity, must be recorded before and after calibration

5. Prepare for Calibration

Prior to the calibration, the following preparations must be done:

- Prepare the Technical Calibration Buffer

- Place the pH tester and Technical Calibration Buffer in the calibration room at least 1 hour prior to calibration.

- The Technical Calibration Buffer must be kept at constant temperature at least 1 hr at (25 ± 0,2) 0C in Heated Digital Water Bath

- Prior to calibration, immerse the pH tester electrode with distilled water at least 3 hrs in the lab.

Before measuring the pH level of Technical Calibration Buffer, the followings must be met:

- Clean the pH tester’s electrodes with distilled water.

- Dry the electrode with tissue.

The pH tester to be calibrated must be operating at least 15 mins prior to calibration.

6. Begin the calibration

6.1 Outside Check

6.2 Technical Check

6.3 Measurement Check

A pH tester is checked and measured according to the following content, method and requirements:

- Calibrate the pH tester according to the manufacturer's technical documents.

- Check the error with standard pH solutions

- Measure at least 3 times for each pH standard solution. Record the measured results in the record.

- Calculate the error

7. Measurement Uncertainty Evaluation

8. General handling

a. The calibrated pH tester is stamped, certified in paper along with calibration results, and measurement uncertainty.

b. The recommended calibration cycle of pH tester is 12 months.
