No stable measured
value
Obviously incorrect
measured values
– Not enough electrolyte
– Top up electrolyte
– Electrode obsolete
– Replace electrode
– Electrode broken
– Replace electrode
– Socket damp
– Dry socket
Calibration procedure:
– Incorrect solution temperature
(without temperature sensor)
– Set up correct temperature
– Incorrect buffer solutions
– Select buffer solutions
suitable for the calibration
procedure
– Buffer solutions too old
– Use only once.
Note the shelf life

Test sample:
– pH value not stable
– Measure with air excluded if
necessary
– Temperature not stable
– Temper if necessary
Ele test sample:
– Conductivity too low
(e.g. in ultrapure water)
– Use suitable electrode
– Temperature too high
– Use suitable electrode
– Organic liquids
– Use suitable electrode
