Appendix
8.1 pH as a function of mV
The pH value is the negative decadative logarithm of the hydrogen ion concentration, and it is
directly related to the proportion of hydrogen ions H
+
to hydroxide ions OH
-
in the media. The pH
sensor measures excess or deficit of the hydrogen ions and gives a proportional millivolt signal
as output. The signal is 59.16 mV per 1 pH at 25°C / 77°F. In clean water there is a total balance
between hydrogen ions and hydroxide ions, the output from the electrode is 0.0 mV and pH is 7.
The millivolt signal is measured by the sensor and the corresponding pH value is directly
calculated by the sensor.
