ORP

 

ORP (Oxidation reduction potential) is a measure of the quality of water and whether any contamination is present. As part of a measurement process ORP can often be a valuable tool for recognising changes if a known contaminant is causing problems with water quality. ORP itself is a nonspecific measurement and is often combined with pH as it utilises the sensors reference electrode to reference its measurement.

 

 

ORP is a valuable measurement for determining water quality change over time as it is nonspecific, and can help generate a long term view of general water quality change. It can also help to identify that there is a water quality problem so specific monitoring can be undertaken to identify a problem with a process or application
