The HI98163 is a rugged, waterproof, Foodcare portable pH meter that measures pH and temperature using the specialized FC2323 meat pH electrode with a stainless steel piercing blade.
This professional, waterproof meter complies with IP67 standards. The HI98163 is supplied with all necessary accessories to perform a pH/temperature measurement
packaged into a durable thermoformed carrying case that holds the meters, probes and calibration buffers securely in place.
Features:
- Ergonomic, rugged, waterproof (IP67) design
- Five-point pH calibration with seven standard buffers and five custom buffers
- Log-on-demand: Store measurement data at the press of a button
- AutoHold: Freezes displayed measurement reading upon stabilization
- Calibration timeout to alert the user at a defined interval when the calibration has expired
- Multiple language selection
- 200 hour battery life with battery level displayed on measurement screen
- Menu driven for ease of use with virtual-key extended functionality
- Contextual help at the press of a button
- Backlit, graphic LCD
- Connectivity: PC connectivity via a sealed opto-isolated micro USB and HI92000 software
Electrode:
- Conical Glass Tip: The conical shaped tip design allows for penetration into solids, semi-solids, and emulsions for the direct measurement of pH in food
products including meat, cheese, yogurt, and milk.
- Open Junction Reference: The open junction design consists of a solid gel interface (viscolene) between the sample and internal Ag/AgCl reference. This
interface not only prevents silver from entering the sample, but also makes it impermeable to clogging, resulting in a fast response and stable reading.
- PVDF Body: Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) is a food grade plastic that is resistant to most chemicals and solvents, including sodium hypochlorite. It
has high abrasion resistance, mechanical strength and resistance to ultraviolet and nuclear radiation. PVDF is also resistant to fungal growth.
CAL Check:
- Alerts user to potential problems during calibration including when to clean electrode and possible buffer contamination
- Displays overall condition of the pH electrode after calibration that is based on the offset and slope characteristics
GLP features:
- GLP data including date, time, pH calibration buffers, offset, and slope
- GLP data stored with logged data for traceability
