GB T 9724 pH Testing in Aqueous Solutions
The Chinese national standard GB/T 9724-1988 specifies the methods for determining the pH value of aqueous solutions. This method is widely used across various sectors, including chemical, pharmaceuticals, environmental science, and food processing, where precise pH control and measurement are critical.
The standard provides a comprehensive guide on how to prepare samples, calibrate instruments, and conduct tests under controlled conditions. Proper calibration and sample preparation ensure accurate results that can be trusted for regulatory compliance and internal quality assurance.
Understanding the importance of pH in these applications is essential for maintaining product quality and safety. For instance, in pharmaceuticals, incorrect pH levels can affect drug efficacy and stability. In food processing, appropriate pH control ensures microbial growth inhibition and enhances flavor profiles.
The standard covers both manual and automated methods to measure the pH of aqueous solutions. Manual methods typically involve using a pH electrode and a reference solution, while automated systems use advanced instrumentation for continuous monitoring in real-time.
Several factors can influence the accuracy of pH measurement, including temperature variations, electrode stability, and sample composition. Therefore, strict adherence to the procedures outlined in GB/T 9724 is crucial for obtaining reliable results.
In this service, we use state-of-the-art equipment from reputable manufacturers like Metrohm, Orion, and Hach. Our team of qualified technicians ensures that each test adheres strictly to the specified procedures, providing accurate and consistent pH measurements.
Aims and Objectives
The primary aim is to provide precise pH testing services in accordance with GB/T 9724. This includes:
