- ±0.02 pH accuracy
Durable, Waterproof, and Portable Hanna Cheese pH and Temperature Meter
Optimized for Accurate Cheese pH Measurement
The HI99165 from Hanna Instruments is a professional, portable pH and temperature meter designed specifically for cheese analysis. Its automatic one- or two-point calibration ensures consistent accuracy using selectable buffer sets. The meter also features Automatic Temperature Compensation, adjusting pH readings according to the sample temperature for precise results.
The HI99165 employs the FC242D stainless steel body with an amplified pH electrode and conic glass tip, providing reliable penetration into solids, semi-solids, and emulsions such as cheese curds. Its dual-level LCD displays pH and temperature readings simultaneously, along with stability, battery status, and calibration guidance, helping cheese producers monitor and control product quality efficiently.
Users praise the HI99165 for its robust waterproof design (IP67), on-screen tutorial guidance, and battery error prevention system (BEPS), which protects against inaccurate readings when battery power is low. This combination of features ensures dependable performance in dairy production facilities and other food processing environments.
Waterproof and Rugged
The HI99165 is rated IP67, allowing immersion up to 1 meter of water for 30 minutes, making it highly suitable for wet or rigorous production conditions.
Stainless Steel Body
The AISI 316 stainless steel body ensures durability and resistance to corrosion, even in environments with high chloride content. The robust construction prolongs electrode life and reduces maintenance needs. 
Conic Glass Tip
The conical tip is designed for direct pH measurement in solids, semi-solids, and emulsions like cheese, allowing fast, accurate insertion into samples. 
Built-In Temperature Sensor
The integrated temperature sensor works with Automatic Temperature Compensation to eliminate errors caused by temperature fluctuations, ensuring stable and reliable readings. 
Multi-Level LCD Display & On-Screen Tutorial
The split-level LCD shows pH and temperature simultaneously, including stability, battery life, and calibration instructions. On-screen tutorial messages guide users through setup and calibration for easy operation, even for less experienced staff.
Battery Error Prevention & Indicator
The HI99165 will automatically shut down if battery power is insufficient to guarantee accurate measurements. The battery percentage is displayed at startup to alert users of remaining power.
Instructions for Use
Entering Calibration Mode: Press and hold the button until "POWER" changes to "STD," then release.
Accessing Configuration Mode: Press and hold the button until "STD" changes to "SETUP," then release.
Turning Off the Meter: In measurement mode, press "POWER" until the label is displayed, then release.

A more comprehensive quality control in dairy and food production environments
Many facilities complement a dedicated cheese analysis instrument with broader‑application tools such as the Hanna Pocket pH Meter for Food (Dairy), which delivers high‑precision pH and temperature measurement across a range of semi‑solid and liquid products to streamline routine testing workflows. In sectors where acidity plays a critical role in process control beyond cheese, the Hanna Chocolate pH Meter provides reliable readings tailored to confectionary and cocoa formulations. For rapid, simple endpoint checks of curds, whey, and other dairy derivatives, the compact Hanna pH Tester for Cheese offers a cost‑effective alternative calibrated for general cheese pH evaluation while maintaining consistency with industry compliance standards.
