WHERE THIS IS USED — 2 APPLICATIONS
Myron L publishes an application bulletin for each of these. The summaries below are ours; the linked bulletins are Myron L’s own and open in a new tab.
Environmental Monitoring
Wastewater, stormwater, surface water
Discharge to waterways, to municipal sewers and increasingly stormwater runoff all sit under permit limits, and demonstrating compliance means measuring at many points rather than one. Conductivity, pH, ORP, dissolved oxygen and nitrate together characterise both the health of a receiving water and the quality of an effluent, and handheld instruments make it practical to sample where the water actually is.
Measured here: Conductivity / TDS, pH, ORP, dissolved oxygen, nitrate, temperature
📄 Environmental Monitoring Application Bulletin (PDF)Oxidation Reduction Potential (ORP / Redox)
Disinfection, process control, water treatment
ORP measures the strength of the oxidisers and reducers present rather than their concentration, and it is reported in millivolts with no temperature correction. That distinction matters: a chlorine residual tells you how much is there, while ORP tells you how effectively it is actually oxidising. Positive readings indicate an oxidising solution such as chlorinated water; negative readings indicate a reducing agent such as sodium sulfite.
Measured here: ORP / redox, pH, free chlorine equivalent
