ORP Calibration Fluid

ZDo you need the both pH's or just the one soln. I make my own cal soln's

Oh good question. Last time I calibrated my ORP probe it was just a single solution that came in one of those foil bags from Digital Aquatics.

Apex controllers require 2 points to calibrate. I wasn't sure if RKE's do. I think you can get cal soln form JLaquatics. But I was going to suggest Digital Aquatics. I can give a pH7 mixture...but you have to mix it on the spot( eg can't give it to you as a liquid form otherwise it will go bad)

I'm no expert, but I don't think you use pH calibration solution for an ORP probe?

[fencer]

you use the pH soln to dissolve the quinhydrone.

The reading should be between +170 mV and +185 mV above the reading in
the 7 buffer mixture at room temp

I have one package of ORP calibration fluid left, I will ship it for the cost of a postage stamp. It will fit in an envelope.

I wish I'd seen this earlier. UGH! I'll try PMing anyways.


Fencer,

Tell me more about this? I'm very intrigued.
