Frequently asked questions
Common questions about OAKTON from 3G Electric.
What types of pH electrodes does OAKTON offer, and how do I choose the right one?
OAKTON provides pH electrodes with polycarbonate or epoxy bodies, bulb or round tip shapes, and single or double junctions. Connection types include BNC, phono, and ATC connectors. For general laboratory use, a double-junction electrode with a BNC connector (e.g., model 35660-56) offers broad compatibility. For applications requiring automatic temperature compensation, select an electrode with an ATC connector (e.g., WD-35816-72). Verify the pH range (0–12 or 0–14) and cable length (typically 0.76 m or 2 m) to match your meter and setup.
Are OAKTON buffer solutions certified to any chemical grade standard?
Yes, OAKTON pH buffer solutions are manufactured to ACS (American Chemical Society) grade specifications. For example, the pH 10.01 buffer (SKU 831NM3) and pH 1.68 buffer (SKU 8UKA8) are both ACS grade, supplied as liquid solutions in plastic bottles. This ensures the buffers meet defined purity and accuracy requirements for calibration of pH meters in laboratory and industrial settings. Always check the CAS number and concentration on the product label to confirm compatibility with your calibration protocol.
What is the measurement range and accuracy of OAKTON dissolved oxygen meters?
OAKTON handheld dissolved oxygen meters, such as model 3564300, measure DO concentration up to 200% saturation with a resolution of 0.1 mg/L and accuracy of ±0.30 mg/L. Temperature accuracy is ±0.5°C ±1 digit. The meter includes a cathode polishing paper for maintenance. For optical DO sensors (e.g., model 35661-00), the range is 0 to 20 mg/L with a PVC body. These instruments are suitable for field or lab DO/BOD testing in water quality monitoring.
Can OAKTON conductivity probes measure both conductivity and temperature?
Yes, OAKTON conductivity probes like model WD-35608-78 are designed to measure both conductivity and temperature simultaneously. This probe has a platinum sensor with a round tip, a measurement range of 0 to 200 mS, and a 0.76 m cable with an OAKTON connector. The integrated temperature sensor allows automatic compensation of conductivity readings, which is critical for accurate measurements in varying thermal conditions.
What is the accuracy of OAKTON analog thermohygrometers?
OAKTON analog thermohygrometers, such as model 3570010, provide temperature accuracy of ±3.6°F (±2.0°C) and humidity accuracy of ±5%. The dial display shows humidity from 25% to 80% RH. These wall-mount units are designed for ambient monitoring in storage areas, labs, or production floors where digital readouts are not required. They do not require batteries and offer a simple, low-maintenance solution for basic environmental tracking.
