Discrepancies with titration
Due to the difference in measurement principles, readings
from the instrument may not match up exactly with the
readings by titration for certain samples. However,
correlation between the two testing methods can be seen.

Pocket Acidity Meter (Kiwi)
This unit measures and determines the acidity through electrical conductivity.
Citric acid is the primary acid found in Kiwi.
The instrument measures the total acidity in a sample and converts it into citric acid concentrations.
The Automatic Temperature Compensation (ATC) feature is based on temperature detected by the thermo sensor located
near the sensor area.
ATC may not work correctly when the temperature of the sensor area is not the same as the actual temperature of the
sample. When measuring a hot or cold sample, let it sit on the sensor for approximately 20 seconds and measure, or take
multiple readings until measurements become stable.
