Operating principle
ORP stands for
oxidation/reduction potential
. Oxidation is the loss of electrons and
reduction is the gain of electrons. The output of the probe is represented in millivolts and
can be positive or negative.
Just like a pH probe measures hydrogen ion activity in a liquid; an ORP probe measures
electron activity in a liquid. The ORP readings represents how strongly electrons are
transferred to or from substances in a liquid. Keeping in mind that the readings do not
indicate the amount of electrons available for transfer.
