Hanna HI98108P pHep+ Waterproof Pocket pH Tester
The Hanna HI98108P pHep+ is a compact, rugged, and waterproof digital pH tester designed for high-accuracy measurements in various applications. This pocket-sized meter provides reliable pH and temperature readings, making it an indispensable tool for professionals and enthusiasts alike. The "P" in the model name often denotes a regional or packaging variant, with the core specifications remaining consistent with the HI98108 model.
Key Features and Benefits
• Slim, Ergonomic, and Waterproof Design: With rounded edges and a thin profile of just 17 mm (0.7”), the HI98108P fits comfortably in your hand or pocket. Its waterproof casing ensures durability and reliability, even in demanding environments, allowing for submerged measurements.
• Large Multi-Level LCD Display: Easily read both pH and temperature simultaneously on the spacious LCD screen. The display also shows crucial indicators such as calibration buffer tags, battery level, and an instability indicator, ensuring you have all necessary information at a glance.
• Simple Two-Button Operation: Operate the meter effortlessly with just two buttons – one for ON/OFF and the other for calibration. This intuitive design makes it user-friendly for both experienced professionals and beginners.
• Integrated Temperature Sensor with Automatic Temperature Compensation (ATC): An exposed temperature sensor allows for rapid and precise automatic temperature compensated pH measurements. You can choose to display temperature readings in either Celsius (°C) or Fahrenheit (°F).
• Automatic Calibration: Achieve accurate results quickly with automatic calibration to one, two, or even three points using pre-programmed standard buffer solutions (pH 4.01, 7.01, and 10.01). A stability indicator (clock tag) disappears to confirm when the reading is stable and ready.
• Extended Electrode Life: The unique reference cell design incorporates an extractable cloth junction. If the junction becomes clogged, simply extracting a small portion of the cloth exposes a fresh, clean surface, helping to prolong the life of the pH electrode and maintain accurate readings.
• Smart Battery Management: The meter features user-selectable automatic shut-off options (after 8 minutes, 60 minutes, or disabled) to conserve battery life. At startup, the battery percentage level is displayed, and a low battery indicator appears when less than 10% battery life remains.
Versatile Applications
The Hanna HI98108P pHep+ is perfect for a wide range of uses, including:
• Laboratory Testing: Ideal for general lab work requiring precise pH measurements.
• Field and Environmental Testing: Its compact and waterproof design makes it suitable for on-site analysis in diverse environmental conditions.
• Aquarium Monitoring: Essential for maintaining optimal pH levels in both saltwater and freshwater aquariums.
• Agricultural Use: Valuable for assessing soil pH, managing nutrient availability, monitoring irrigation water quality, and optimizing solutions for hydroponic, aquaponic, and foliar nutrition systems.
