RT nF at 20 C this slope is equal to 58 1641 mV C and introduces a compensation to deliver the real pH This compensation does not integrate the effect of the temperature variations on the various pH buffers different between them As a result you should calibrate with pH buffers stabilized at 25 C and validate 7 01 and 4 01 pH values buffer values at 25 C or calibrate at another temperature and manually define the corresponding values of the buffers before validating ex 7 03 and 4 00 at 20 C These buffer values changes according to temperature are precised here under 1 pH 7 01 2 pH 4 01 7 2 5 Redox Potential ORP It is imperative and compulsory to calibrate the ORP at 25 C values such as 240 mV and 470 mV being given at this temperature The intrinsic response of the redox probe is not corrected in temperature because according to the oxydo reducers couples in presence in water each NERNST slope of reversible reactions is proportional to the numbers of exchanged electrons and thus to the variations of oxydation steps 1 2 3 etc Thus it is not possible to carry out a multi correction of temperature Accordingly one takes this measurement in its intrinsic meaning the oxydoreduction potential being by definition what the noble metal plunged in water compared to the electrode of Ag AgCl reference delivers 2 6 Water Level At the moment this parameter is not sufficiently compensated to provide a metrologic
