Features

Extended pH Measurement Range

The PC9500 supports a broad pH range from −2.000 to 20.000, allowing users to analyze both extreme acidic and alkaline samples. Moreover, it provides adjustable resolution settings at 0.1, 0.01, and 0.001 pH for maximum precision in every reading.

Highly Accurate and Flexible Calibration

This meter ensures ±0.002 pH ±1 digit accuracy and supports 1 to 5-point pH calibration, enabling tailored calibration for various types of buffers. Thus, users benefit from higher reliability across the full pH spectrum.

Wide Conductivity Range with Auto Temperature Compensation

The conductivity measurement spans from 0.00 μS/cm to 2000 mS/cm, suitable for everything from ultra-pure water testing to concentrated solutions. Additionally, the PC9500 offers auto or manual temperature compensation from 0 to 100°C, ensuring consistent accuracy regardless of sample temperature.

Multi-Parameter Measurement

In addition to pH and conductivity, the meter measures ORP up to ±2000 mV, TDS from 0.1 mg/L to 500 g/L, and salinity up to 100 ppt. This versatility allows the PC9500 to serve as a complete water analysis station.

Precise mV/ORP Capability

With a resolution of 0.1 or 1 mV and accuracy of ±0.03% full scale, the mV function is ideal for oxidation-reduction potential tests and other electrochemical measurements.
