4.8 pH measurement
This chapter describes the required steps to carry out a simple pH mea-
surement with calibration. The description is limited to only the indispen-
sable steps and will enable you to carry out first measurements with the
instrument directly.
4.8.1 pH electrode calibration
NOTICE
Measuring channel selection

In order to perform the calibration, you have to select the correspond-
ing measuring channel in the main dialog.
You cannot perform a calibration in the two-channel view in the main
dialog.
pH calibration
By default, the calibration parameters are set for calibration with two
Metrohm buffer solutions (see chapter 4.7.1, page 42). If you would like
to use other buffers, you have to select the corresponding buffer type and
the number of buffer solutions.
If the Report selection dialog is set to on in the Calibration param.
menu dialog, then the calibration data will be output immediately.
1 Starting the calibration with the first buffer solution
￭ Start the calibration with the key.

￭ Rinse the pH electrode with water and immerse it in the first buf-
fer solution and then confirm with the key.
￭ The calibration temperature is measured with the connected tem-
perature sensor and added to the calibration data.
If no temperature sensor is connected, then the temperature has
to be entered manually.
￭ The first buffer solution is measured.
2 Continuing the calibration with second buffer solution

￭ Remove the pH electrode from the first buffer solution and rinse
with water.

￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭ 4 Operation
￭ Immerse the pH electrode in the second buffer solution and con-

tinue the calibration procedure with the key.
￭ The second buffer solution is measured.
NOTICE
Buffer exchange
If the buffer solution was not exchanged, then the message
912-181 Same buffer will appear.
Exchange the buffer solution and continue the calibration with the
key.
3 Result of the calibration

￭ The result of the calibration is displayed in a diagram.
￭ Finish the calibration with the key.

(The instrument will automatically change to the main dialog after
30 seconds.)
NOTICE
Limit values exceeded

If the calibration data is outside the limits defined as calibration
parameters, a corresponding message will be displayed.
You can then accept this calibration data nevertheless with the
key, or you can reject it with the key and use the exist-
ing calibration data.

tronics.
Spilled chemicals and solvents should be removed immediately. In particu-
lar, the plug connections should be protected from contamination.
CAUTION
Although this is largely prevented by design measures, Metrohm Service

should immediately be notified if aggressive media have found their
way into the instrument.

6 Troubleshooting
6.1 General
If you experience problems during measurements, then you can check the
following aspects to eliminate them:
Application Difficult sample matrices or interfering influences may render accurate
measurements impossible (e.g. insufficient ionic strength, presence of
interfering ions, etc.).
Our Application Bulletins and Application Notes will support you in
choosing the appropriate analysis conditions and configuring the instru-
ment method.
Buffer solutions / The precision of the measurements mainly depends on the correct calibra-
standard solutions tion of the sensors. To do so, you should use clean and fresh buffer solu-
tions or standard solutions.
A common cause of incorrect calibrations is, for example, the use of an
old pH 10 or pH 12 buffer. Its pH value may markedly deviate from the
certified pH value of a new buffer as a result of the introduction of CO2
from the air.
Sensors The sensors are the most important component in the entire measuring
system.
For the correct handling of sensors, please read the corresponding leaflets.
Instrument If the 912/913/914 Meter might be the cause of a measuring problem,

check all configuration and parameter settings first.
The 912/913/914 Meter will notify you of problems with respective
messages directly during operation.
You can find an explanation of these messages in the chapter Messages.

7.1 Saved buffer series

The displayed buffer series are available in the instrument starting with
firmware version 5.913.0021, 5.913.2021, 5.914.1021, 5.914.2021,
5.914.3021.
The temperature-dependent pH values of the most important commer-
cially available pH buffer solutions are stored in 912/913/914 Meter
instruments for automatic buffer recognition during pH calibration.
In addition to the Metrohm buffer solutions, other reference buffers are
also included in the tables.
CAUTION
Buffer quality
The precision of pH measurements mainly depends on the correct cali-
bration of the measuring chain. To do so, you should use clean and
fresh buffer solutions. A common cause of incorrect calibration is, for
example, the use of an old pH 10 or pH 12 buffer. The pH value of a
buffer solution may markedly deviate from the certified pH value of a
new buffer solution as a result of the introduction of CO2 from the air.
The following tables provide an overview of the stored pH(T) series:
NOTICE
pH values printed in bold are the values for the reference temperature
of the respective buffer set.
pH values highlighted in italics are interpolated or extrapolated values.
The other pH values correspond to the manufacturer's specifications.
