In Stock 1 Item available
HI-981045
HI-981045 Foodcare Meat pH tester is an application specifically designed pH tester for the measurement of pH during meat processing. This tester offers many advanced features including a pH electrode designed specifically for meat. (Meat blade sold separately - FC097)
Meets Hazard Analysis Critical Control (HACCP) process standards
pH electrode with replaceable bridge electrolyte
The pH electrode has an outer junction sleeve that can be removed and cleaned. Once cleaned, a small amount of supplied gel electrolyte is added and the junction is refreshed improving the pH measurement and extending the life of the meter.
Low temperature (LT) glass
The pH glass tip uses a special low temperature (LT) glass formulation suited for fast stabilization and accurate results at lower temperatures in order to have the ideal resistance for the measuring circuit.
Conical tip
Allows for easy penetration into solids and semisolids, which is needed when wanting to take a direct measurement in meat.
Removable stainless steel meat blade available
The HI-981045 features threads at the base of the probe for compatibility with the FC097 stainless steel meat blade (optional accessory).
PVDF body
Polyvinylidene Fluoride (PVDF) is a food grade plastic that is resistant to most chemicals and solvents, including sodium hypochlorite. It has high abrasion resistance, mechanical strength, and resistance to ultraviolet light. PVDF is also resistant to fungal growth.
Large LCD
An enhanced LCD displays the measurement reading, stability indicator, low battery indicator, and calibration tags.
Automatic calibration
This tester is calibrated automatically to one or two points. The calibration buffers are automatically recognised, and after calibration, the buffer values used are shown on the display.
Automatic temperature compensation
Stability indicator
An hourglass indicator is displayed on the LCD until a stable reading is obtained. Once a reading stabilises, the indicator disappears and a reading can be taken.
Automatic shut-off
This tester can be set to automatically turn off after 8 minutes or 60 minutes to conserve battery life in the event that the tester is left on. The auto-off feature can also be disabled.
Probe diagnostic
During calibration the meter will display an error (Err) message as an advisory that the probe needs to be cleaned.
Long battery life
This tester has an exceptional battery life of approximately 800 hours. When the battery power is running low, the low battery indicator blinks.
