neonwarrior Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 Hello everyone, Could you possibly enlighten me which principle soil ph meters use? I understand that they have an aluminum and copper electrodes. But I cannot find any information about this one (only the one with silver wire coated with AgCl) Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bufofrog Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 It depends on your needs, but it is much less expensive to buy kits for testing pH than to buy a pH meter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or they may work on a principle is similar to this. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antimony_electrode 41 minutes ago, Bufofrog said: It depends on your needs, but it is much less expensive to buy kits for testing pH than to buy a pH meter. How would that help find out how the meter works? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
