HI98168

Description

Designed to bring simplicity to pH testing to environmental and agricultural testing, the HI98168 GroLine Professional Portable Soil pH Meter is engineered for direct insertion in soil. The specialized probe features a conical tip and a triple ceramic junction for improved performance in soils that have a low moisture content.

• ±0.002 pH Accuracy
• Comes with all the necessary solutions and batteries- everything you need to get started measuring right away
• Specialized electrode for spot checking the pH of soil and soil slurries

Increased Traceabilty
• Ensure that your data can be trusted with GLP data
• Accessible by a fixed dedicated key, this data includes date, time, pH calibration buffers, offset, and slope.

  Superior Field Usability
•  Designed to withstand the knocks, drops, and spills of real life, the IP67 body ensures top performance in any environment. Your meter is better protected against dust
and water intrusion from any direction.
•  The Quick Connect DIN provides a water-tight seal without twisting.

Versatile Data Logging
• The HI98168’s log-on-demand feature allows you to store up to 100 readings.
• The AutoEnd button can be used during measurement to hold the first stable reading on the display automatically.
