Field measurement of alkalinity and pH
Ivan Barnes
1964, Water Supply Paper 1535-H
The behavior of electrometric pH equipment under field conditions departs from the behavior predicted from Nernst's law. The response is a linear function of pH, and hence measured pH values may be corrected to true pH if the instrument is calibrated with two reference solutions for each measurement. Alkalinity titrations...
