mV and ORP (Redox) Measurement

ORP, the oxidation-reduction potential, shows whether water is oxidising or reducing, read in millivolts (mV). Every Hintron pH meter with a mV mode reads it directly. An ORP electrode is required and is supplied at extra cost.

Method

How it is measured

01

Connect

Fit an ORP electrode in place of the pH electrode and switch the meter to mV mode.

02

Check

Read a standard ORP solution of known value to confirm the electrode responds correctly.

03

Measure

Immerse the electrode in the sample and note the mV reading once it is stable.

Questions

Frequently asked

What does an ORP reading tell you?

ORP (oxidation-reduction potential) is read in millivolts. A positive value means the water is oxidising, for example when chlorine or ozone is present; a negative value means it is reducing. It is used to control disinfection and to follow redox reactions in process water and effluent.

Do I need a separate electrode for ORP?

Yes. ORP is read with an ORP (redox) electrode, which has a platinum sensor in place of the glass pH bulb. It is not included with the meter and is supplied at extra cost.

How is an ORP electrode checked?

ORP needs no buffer calibration. Read a standard ORP solution of known mV value; the reading should match it within the tolerance stated for the solution.

Application support

Need to measure ORP?

Describe the sample, the range you expect and the quantity. A specialist replies with a recommendation and a quotation, including the ORP electrode.
