The Thermo Scientific Orion 3-Star is a benchtop/portable meter for pH and conductivity measurements, featuring a backlit LCD, multiple calibration options, and data logging. The Orion 3-Star Plus pH meter offers pH range -2.000 to 19.999, resolution 0.1/0.01/0.001, and relative accuracy ±0.002. The Orion 3-Star Benchtop Conductivity Meter provides conductivity accuracy ±0.5% FS 1 digit and temperature accuracy ±0.1°C.[1][2]
How it works
The Orion 3 series includes meters that function as pH meters, conductivity meters, or combined units, depending on the specific configuration.[1][2]
pH meters in the Orion 3 series measure pH over a range of -2.000 to 19.999 with a resolution as fine as 0.001 and a relative accuracy of ±0.002.[1]
The pH meters also measure millivolts over a range of ±1999.9 with a resolution of 0.1 and an accuracy of ±0.2 or 0.05%, whichever is greater.[1]
Conductivity meters in the Orion 3 series accept either two- or four-cell probes and meet U.S. Pharmacopoeia (USP) requirements.[2]
The Orion 3 meters include temperature measurement capability from -5 to 105 °C with a resolution of 0.1 °C up to 99.9 °C and an accuracy of ±0.1 °C.[1]
The meters feature a backlit LCD display, data logging for up to 1000 points with time and date stamp, and an RS232 port for data download.[1]
Applications
The Orion 3 series pH meters are suited for pH measurement in water, media, beverages, and process water.[1]
