The testo 206 series is designed for measuring pH in liquid and semi-solid media. Its pH immersion probe works together with an integrated temperature probe to provide fast, precise temperature compensation. A large volume of gel electrolyte and a dual wall diaphragm make the probe leak-proof, maintenance-free and resistant to dirt.
Key testo 206-pH1 features
– Suitable for liquids and viscoplastic media, with temperature compensation for accurate pH results
– Maintenance-free, leak-proof pH probe with gel electrolyte
– Dual wall diaphragm for fast, reliable measurements
– Simultaneous display of pH and temperature
– Automatic final value recognition that holds the reading when stable
– TopSafe protective cover with IP68 protection, dishwasher-safe construction and protection from dirt, water and impact
Drinking water pH analysis
European directives have regulated drinking water parameter limits since 1980. pH is an important indicator of water quality. Samples should be checked directly or immediately after collection.
Advantages for drinking water measurement
– Direct on-site measurement for fast pH assessment
– Three models, including a version with plug-in probes for easy remote measurement
– Robust, waterproof TopSafe protective cover with IP68 protection
– Built-in temperature probe for simultaneous measurement of two parameters
– Maintenance-free gel electrolyte
Food quality assurance
Food pH influences microorganism growth, quality and safety. It is important for meat, sausage, delicatessen and dairy products, affecting water binding capacity, taste, colour, tenderness and shelf life. It also helps assess sourdough acidity and maintain consistent quality or acidity in products such as salad dressings. The testo 206 offers direct process or food measurement, three versions for different media, IP68 TopSafe protection, simultaneous pH and temperature measurement, maintenance-free gel electrolyte, and 1, 2 or 3-point calibration.
Cosmetics industry
Cosmetic pH is important for product quality because excessively acidic or alkaline products can cause skin irritation or rashes. Normal skin pH is 5 to 6.5 due to its natural protective acid mantle. Skin-neutral cleansers are slightly acidic and can support this protective layer, while alkaline cleansers may encourage the replenishment of natural oils. The testo 206 supports direct process measurement, three versions for different media, IP68 TopSafe protection, simultaneous temperature measurement, maintenance-free gel electrolyte, and 1, 2 or 3-point calibration.
Standard set: testo 206-pH1 pH temperature measuring instrument, pH1 probe head for liquids, incl. storage cap with gel, TopSafe and belt/wall bracket.
