Specialized Soil Testing Probe
The HI981030 features a carefully engineered built-in probe designed specifically for direct soil pH measurements in environmental and agricultural testing applications.
Conical Glass Tip
The conical-shaped tip design allows for easy penetration into soil and soil slurries, enabling direct measurements without the need for sample preparation or dilution.
Unique Open Junction with Removable Sleeve
When readings become slow, simply remove the sleeve for quick cleaning and fresh electrolyte replacement. A clean probe with fresh reference electrolyte improves performance and extends the life of the tester significantly.
PVDF Body Construction
The probe body is constructed from polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), a durable plastic resistant to most chemicals and solvents used for disinfection, including chlorine (bleach). This ensures long-term durability in demanding agricultural environments.
