Method 150.1

pH (Electrometric Method)


This method is for the determination of pH from a drinking, surface, and saline waters, domestic and industrial wastes and acid rain (atmospheric deposition).  The pH is determined electrometrically using either a glass electrode in combination with a reference potential or a combination electrode.
