HI981032 Cheese pH Tester – Accurate pH Measurement for Cheese and Curds
Optimized for Cheese-Making and Dairy Applications
The HI981032 Cheese pH Tester is engineered for direct measurement in a variety of cheeses and milk-based curds. Its built-in probe features an open junction, low-temperature conical glass tip, and a food-safe PVDF body, allowing for accurate pH readings with minimal maintenance. The tester is widely used by cheesemakers, dairy labs, and artisan producers to ensure consistent product quality and compliance with food safety standards.
Users appreciate its reliability, durability, and ease of use compared to conventional pH meters, making it a preferred choice for professional and small-scale cheese production.
Enhanced Features for Reliable Testing
An onscreen stability indicator provides confidence in your readings. The selectable auto-off feature extends battery life, conserving energy if the meter is accidentally left on during testing.
Pocket-Sized Convenience
The compact design makes the Cheese pH Tester ideal for on-the-go measurements. A large LCD display provides clear readings from multiple angles, while single-button operation simplifies testing for all users.
Long Battery Life
The included CR2032 Li-ion battery offers up to 1000 hours of continuous use. A blinking battery icon alerts you when replacement is needed, ensuring uninterrupted testing.
Open Junction
The open junction minimizes clogging from suspended solids and proteins in cheese, delivering more stable pH measurements and reducing maintenance needs.
Conical Glass Tip
The conical tip penetrates solids, semi-solids, and emulsions for direct pH measurement. Low-temperature (LT) glass ensures faster stabilization at lower temperatures, making it suitable for a wide range of dairy products.
Durable PVDF Body
Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) is a food-grade plastic resistant to most chemicals and disinfectants, including chlorine. Its mechanical strength and chemical durability ensure long-term, safe use in dairy environments.
Cleaning Solution for Cheese Deposits
The included cleaning solution removes cheese residues, fats, and proteins quickly and effectively, keeping the probe in optimal condition for repeated measurements.
pH 4 & 7 Buffer Sachets
Single-use, individually sealed buffer sachets are included for calibration. Using fresh buffers for each calibration ensures consistent, reliable readings.
Storage Solution
Proper storage preserves the electrode’s pH glass hydration and minimizes organic growth, maintaining accuracy and prolonging electrode life.
Q&A
What types of cheeses can this meter test?
It can measure pH in nearly all cheese types, including soft, semi-soft, hard, and curd-based products.
How does the open junction help?
The open junction reduces clogging from solids and proteins, ensuring stable readings and lower maintenance needs.
Is the tester suitable for small-scale or artisanal production?
Yes, its compact, portable design and simple operation make it ideal for both professional dairy labs and artisanal cheesemakers.
What maintenance is required?
Regular cleaning with the included solution and proper storage in the provided storage solution ensures long-term accuracy and probe durability.
Cheese pH Tester – How to Use
Preparation:
- Remove the protective cap. Rinse the probe with water and blot dry. Salt deposits are normal and not harmful.
- If the glass or junction is dry, soak the electrode (bottom 4 cm / 1.5") in storage solution for at least 30 minutes. Rinse and blot dry.
- Calibrate the electrode before use. Periodic recalibration is recommended for optimal results.
