Hanna Instruments HI-99163 is a pH and temperature meter designed for meat processing. An important factor in the field of meat science is a reliable pH measurement. The pH can affect many quality factors e.g. grading, tenderness, colour, texture and process characteristics. The best way to determine the pH in meat is direct into the depth of the muscle.
Benefits
- Simultaneous pH and temperature measurements on a large dual-line LCD Display
- Automatic pH calibration at one or two points within two memorised buffer sets (standard or NIST)
- Selectable temperature unit (℃ or deg. F)
- Electrode condition indicator
- mV of pH measurement for electrode check
- FC2323 dedicated pH with an integral temperature sensor
- Probe quick connect system
- Battery life indication and low battery detection
- Keystroke confirmation tone
- Auto-off function
- Waterproof casing IP67
What's included with the meter:
- FC2323 amplified pH/temperature probe and stainless steel blade (FC099), DIN Connector and 1m cable
- pH 4.01 & 7.01 buffer sachet
- HI-700630 grease and fats acid cleaning solution (2 sachets)
- 100ml beaker (1)
- Alkaline batteries: 1.5V AAA x 3
- Rugged carrying case
- Calibration certificate of meter
- Calibration certificate of the probe
- Instruction manual
The HI-99163 is supplied with an FC2323 probe which is specifically designed to measure the pH in meat processing. This meter works in cold environments operating temperatures to 0℃. More features include a waterproof compact casing, automatic pH calibration at one or two points and a large dual-line display. The HI-99163 and FC2323 electrode are ready for pH measurements in intact muscle.
The FC2323 has a conical sensing tip and a penetration style pH electrode. This probe is made of PVDF, easy to clean and has a single junction gel-filled reference with a free diffusion sleeve style reference junction. A removable stainless steel knife for meat/muscle penetration (FC099) is available to buy separately for the FC2323 probe.
