pH & Ion Meters

Precision pH and Ion Measurement Devices for Industrial and Environmental Applications

Water & Chemical Analysis instruments consist of calibrated systems that detect, quantify, and monitor chemical properties and ion concentrations in water and liquid matrices. These devices are integral to advanced emissions and stack testing and measurement programs where chemical composition verification is essential.

Primary product types include:

• pH meters with glass or ISFET electrodes for accurate hydrogen ion detection
• Ion-selective electrodes (ISEs) for sodium, potassium, chloride, nitrate, and other specific ions
• Multi-parameter water analyzers capable of simultaneous measurement of pH, conductivity, TDS, and ORP
• Laboratory benchtop titrators and auto-analyzers for high-throughput chemical quantification
• Portable field meters with ruggedized sensors for on-site water quality verification
• Data logging systems with digital outputs for process monitoring and compliance reporting

Each instrument type is selected based on measurement range, matrix compatibility, temperature tolerance, and required accuracy. Consideration of calibration intervals, electrode lifespan, and chemical interference is critical for consistent, defensible results.

Emissions and Stack provides engineering-focused chemical measurement solutions trusted by environmental labs, municipal operators, and industrial process teams across North America.
