Calibration kit for the pH meter |
Software: |
A special designed software (under Windows Visual Basic 6.0) makes possible data storage and management |
Education: |
In order to measure the quality of the water, the pH of different waters (from lakes, rivers, or rain) can be monitorised. The students learn, using this system to set-up and to calibrate the pH – meter and to recognize the kinds of polluted waters. |
