Classifying fluid substances using PED article 13 and guideline B-41

The European Pressure Equipment Directive 2014/68/EU (PED) requires manufacturers to classify their pressure equipment according to defined categories. One of the parameters in this categorization process is the fluid group. To help manufacturers with this, PED Guideline B-41 was developed.
 

What is pH drift? How is it fixed?

Not all drifting pH readings indicate that the sample is changing. Sample pH drift results from genuine chemical changes in the sample, whereas electrode drift originates from the sensor or measurement system itself. Distinguishing between these two sources is essential. Read more →
